The zoo has started bringing Punch inside before feeding time, along with other monkeys, to help him become more independent and rely less on his caretakers during meals. ❤️

Punch has now joined a monkey group and it’s a large one. He has begun learning social behaviors, including grooming other monkeys, a key sign of healthy development. Observers note that Punch is spending more time with the troop than with his plush “mother.” It appears he is steadily growing more independent, suggesting that before long, he may no longer need the plush for comfort.

Ichikawa Zoo posted that there will be a new method for Punch during feeding time. Will yesterday be the last day we see Punch clinging to the zookeepers? Or see him jumping suddenly inside? Could it be the decision because Punch is getting heavier or he was seen pinching Miyakoshi's face? Or simply just to make him become heavier to eat with the troops? We can only wait and see. 🎥: TravelJapan1M YouTube

6/13 During mealtime, two other monkeys tried to bully Punch, but he quickly ran to the zookeepers for help. His dads were watching and noticed how Punch reacts to bullies while eating and how he sometimes tries to stand up for himself. 🥹❤️🐒 #punch #punchmpnkey

Punch kept staring into the old monkey’s eyes again and again, trying so hard to communicate, but the old monkey ignored him completely and didn’t seem to care. 💔💔💔 Punch’s innocent looks and behavior truly melt the heart ❤️ After that, Punch went to his Ora mom, hugged her tightly, and dragged her along with him. Meanwhile, the other grumpy old monkeys looked at him with confused and creepy expressions. #punch #babymonkey

Some people were wondering where Punch plush toy was. It is always there inside the cave. He brought the plush toy out again yesterday before feeding time because he was scared. Thankfully Shikano was aware he was inside the cave & Miyakoshi also knows now when Punch brings the toy out during feeding time, that means he's scared. And he directly brought Punch inside without trying to put him down ❤️. By the way, Punch was okay. No need to worry. 🎥: Connect Japan

Punch the 6-month-old macaques monkey has gone viral for seeking comfort in a stuffed orangutan that is like his "surrogate mom." Punch was abandoned by his real mom shortly after birth and the staff at Ichikawa City Zoo near Tokyo, Japan have been raising him. Punch, however, has hit some bumps in the road while trying to learn how to socialized with the other monkeys. In one viral video, another monkey is seen getting aggressive with him, but the zoo explained why that may happen. Here's what the zoo says about Punch's development – and why his "surrogate mom" stuffed animal is helpful.

Miyakoshi tried his best to get Punch to go eat with the other monkeys. He even put Punch down halfway, but Punch refused and climbed right back onto him. First, Punch wrapped himself around Miyakoshi's neck because he was nervous about the other monkeys screaming, and then he covered Miyakoshi's face with his tiny hands especially his nose! 😂 Miyakoshi couldn't do anything about it and ended up blushing. ☺️☺️😁 #punch #miyakoshi

IKEA’s orangutan plush is selling out worldwide after a baby macaque named Punch adopted one as his “mom” at a Japanese zoo The 7-month-old was abandoned and needed something to cling to — keepers tried towels and toys before choosing the orange IKEA monkey. Videos went viral, zoo visits surged, and the plush is now sold out in multiple countries. Punch is slowly integrating with other monkeys — but the orangutan remains his favorite.

Awwww! Kisses from Punch 😘 Update from Punch's keeper: "From what I could see, there were no scenes of him being scolded, and he was observed playing with the other baby monkeys. During mealtime, he came down from the keeper’s foot on his own and started eating by himself. He continues to do well!"

Another failed attempt to put him down and leave him inside 😂 In the end, he just had to take him along. These two are inseparable 🐵💕

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.
