Update on Punch the Monkey 🐒. Punch (or Punch-kun), a Japanese macaque at the Ichikawa City Zoo in Chiba, Japan. Born in July 2025, Punch was abandoned by his mother shortly after birth, a common, heartbreaking occurrence for first-time or stressed mothers in captivity.  Here is what happened with Punch: •The Struggle: After being hand-raised by zookeepers, Punch was introduced to the zoo's monkey enclosure in January 2026. However, he struggled to integrate with the troop, failing to understand social cues and feeling anxious. •The Stuffed Toy: To provide comfort, safety, and warmth, keepers gave him an oversized, plush stuffed orangutan. Punch quickly bonded with this toy, which he treated as a surrogate mother, dragging it around, sleeping with it, and holding it for support when he felt overwhelmed or scared. •Viral Fame & Crowds: Images of the tiny monkey clinging to his "Oran Mama" (as fans called the toy) went viral in February 2026, leading to massive, unexpected crowds at the small zoo. •Recent Update: According to updates as of February 18-19, 2026, Punch is showing positive signs of progress. He has begun building social skills, playing with other young monkeys, and was even recently groomed by an adult macaque—a sign of growing acceptance into the troop. • Following the viral story, IKEA Japan donated more of the same plush toys to ensure Punch always has his comfort companion.  • While he still keeps his toy close, Punch is slowly learning to live as a member of the troop, with many people online following his progress using the hashtag #HangInTherePunch.

Regarding "the video of Punch gets dragged around" that appeared to have been recorded yesterday, February 19. This is a statement from the zookeepers at the Ichikawa City Zoological and Botanical Gardens. Fabruary 20. We have confirmed that several videos have gone viral on the internet. When Punch approached another baby monkey from the troop in attempt to communicate, the baby monkey avoided him. Punch then sat down, apparently giving up on communicating with the monkey, after which he was scolded and dragged by an adult monkey. The adult monkey that dragged Punch is probably the mother of the monkey with whom Punch tried to communicate. She probably felt that her baby was annoyed by Punch and got upset, expressing "don't be mean." Punch has been scolded by other monkeys many times in the past and has learned how to socialize with them. In the video, Punch runs to his stuffed orangutan toy after being dragged. However, as usual, he left the stuffed toy after a short while and was communicating with other monkeys. The video was probably recorded on the morning of February 19. During feeding time at 12 p.m. and 3 p.m., Punch acted no differently than on any other day. In order to integrate Punch into other Japanese monkey troops, we anticipated that this kind of challenge may arise. Although Punch has been scolded many times by other monkeys, no single monkey has shown serious aggression toward him. While Punch is scolded, he shows resilience and mental strength. When you observe these disciplinary behaviors from other troop members toward Punch when he tries to communicate with them, we would like you to support Punch's effort rather than feel sorry for him.
