Punch the little monkey. The shivering little figure clutching a doll went from a lonely corner.

Meet Punch-kun (or simply Punch), the adorable baby Japanese macaque who has captured hearts worldwide! Born on July 26, 2025, at Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan, this tiny 500g baby was abandoned by his mother right after birth due to extreme heat and exhaustion. With no other macaque in the troop stepping up to care for him, zoo keepers hand-raised him and saved his life.But surviving wasn't enough—Punch struggled with loneliness, insecurity, and rejection from the group. To help with his emotional development, caretakers gave him an orange stuffed orangutan toy (from IKEA!), which quickly became his "surrogate mom." Watch in this viral video as Punch clings to his plushie for comfort, hides behind it when scared, and even gets playfully (but dramatically) dragged by an older monkey—only to run back to his toy for safety!This touching story went mega-viral, melting millions of hearts and sparking global conversations about animal emotions, loneliness, mental health, and acceptance. From rejection to slow integration into the troop, Punch is gradually finding his place—with some grooming and cuddles from adult macaques now!The zoo confirms he's healthy, resilient, and being carefully socialized. Even IKEA joined the love by sending more toys!
