Viva the Vervet Monkey (2x25)

Air date: Jun 29, 2015

This episode's focus is on Viva the vervet monkey. These are no ordinary monkeys, for their home is a golf course in Durban, South Africa. Here you'll find Viva, a baby vervet growing up with her troop. For Viva, life is just one big adventure. But why are vervets afraid of a hose pipe, and why do the females want to start a fight? From daylight robbery to a rather civilised breakfast, this is one monkey's story which has to be seen to be believed.
