🌶️ vs Nora - where is the mother in her 🥺 ?

Added: 2026-06-02

[00:00:20]2025 has been a phenomenal year with 29 babies born to our gang.

[00:00:29]What's more, they have all made it as we speak.

[00:00:34]>> [music] >> Connie and Kenny, despite being at the bottom of the totem pole, with a shaky start, especially the latter, have turned out to be alpha material.

[00:00:46]So, at long last, the 2026 baby season is finally here with the arrival of two new babies in Skull Head troop.

[00:00:55]Many congratulations to Belle. She has a little boy.

[00:01:01]But, it's like a kick to the gut to see also Nora, the matriarch of the namesake troop, holding a baby, too.

[00:01:09]With Nora's trouble with the equivalent of human postnatal depression, her babies normally have to endure at least a week of neglect before Nora's maternal instinct [music] finally kicks in.

[00:01:20]Can this poor, helpless baby survive that long?

[00:01:33]>> [music] >> What the >> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Nora's baby has been on my mind.

[00:02:43]I have to come back the following day.

[00:02:47]It has been raining for most of the day.

[00:02:50]Normally, the rain doesn't bother the monkeys.

[00:02:54]But, it seems different today, though.

[00:02:59]But, I suppose the rain is good news for Nora's baby. At least it can have a sip of water.

[00:03:10]Look, the resident feral dogs are out in force.

[00:03:14]The two species don't bother each other.

[00:03:17]Monkeys are messy eaters.

[00:03:26]The blossoms they have destroyed.

[00:03:29]I hope I will bump into Nora's troop before it gets dark.

[00:03:36]What are those?

[00:03:38]Grapes again. Has someone been around to feed them?

[00:03:42]What's more, it looks like this is Nora's troop again.

[00:03:52]We saw the same grapes yesterday along the road. It seems it's the same feeder who has come today again.

[00:04:00]>> [music] >> And thank goodness, there's Nora.

[00:04:11]>> [music] >> Hooray, the baby is still holding out.

[00:05:27]This new feeder doesn't know that his whimsical action has increased the odds of Nora's baby making it.

[00:05:33]Let's hope this will continue at least for a week or until that time when Nora's maternal instinct kicks in.

[00:05:48]I'll check on her later.

[00:05:51]Let's keep going.

[00:05:57]That's Pepper.

[00:06:00]My goodness, Pepper has also delivered.

[00:06:10]>> [music] >> This baby looks like Peel from last year.

[00:06:16]>> [music] >> I bet [music] it's another boy.

[00:06:31]Guillermo, don't photobomb us.

[00:06:57]>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> I hope it's a girl for all Peppa's three daughters have the nip.

[00:09:09]You again? Go away, Leo.

[00:09:13]Stop pulling on my camera.

[00:09:34]It is natural for an older sibling, especially a daughter, to want to get close to their baby sibling.

[00:09:59]Come on, Guahiyo. You have to choose between your baby sibling and my camera.

[00:10:36]Come on, Peppa. Just give your baby a little lift to reveal to us what's hidden there.

[00:10:51]Her older son, Peppy, is joining the party now.

[00:11:06]They all want to get near to the baby.

[00:11:33]But you can't entrust a baby to either of them, right?

[00:12:23]It's not wise to be near any potential trouble, especially with a newborn in hand.

[00:13:50]>> Peppa can't escape from her kids.

[00:14:18]They're all going her way.

[00:14:56]Hopefully, Guahio and her brothers will be playing somewhere else instead.

[00:15:16]Mission accomplished.

[00:15:33]>> Now you two should leave your mom and baby sibling alone. Okay.

[00:15:58]I think that's it. There are no more new arrivals in Loina's troop yet.

[00:16:04]Let's go back to check on Nora.

[00:16:07]If she is still there.

[00:16:19]>> [music] >> Wow, she's still in the same area.

[00:16:43]Salazar is doing her mom and baby sibling some good there.

[00:17:13]But Nora isn't letting her baby nurse.

[00:17:43]All mothers would let their newborns faster to their chest 24/7 for at least the first week of their life, even Gypsy.

[00:17:50]But not Nora under the influence of postnatal depression.

[00:19:45]>> Forget about it, Celissa.

[00:19:47]Goodness me, it's Essie.

[00:19:54]Where has Celissa gone?

[00:20:23]Oh, well, at least Nora appears to be calmer this time.

[00:21:13]>> The internal battle raging within her mind is real. To care or not to care for her baby.

[00:23:31]>> Poor Nora and baby.

[00:23:42]>> [music] [music] >> Her good senses have gained the upper hand.

[00:24:31]But the balance could be tipped easily, especially if her baby becomes too vocal.

[00:26:56]>> Poor Nora, her mind swings constantly between care and unsettling indifference.

[00:28:01]They are leaving. Dane's troop is now taking over.

[00:28:07]We still have about 4 days to go before Nora will go back to her normal loving self.

[00:28:21]>> [music] >> Vince, Nora's son born in 2016.

[00:28:27]Exactly 10 years ago, he probably endured that, too.

[00:28:58]>> Mhm.
