Скачать или смотреть Butt Check = Acceptance! Punch Gets Closer to the Troop

Punch is a young Japanese macaque raised by human caretakers at Ichikawa City Zoological & Botanical Garden in Japan.

In this video, Punch approaches a young monkey in the troop and performs a “butt check.”
For Japanese macaques, smelling the rear is an important social greeting used to confirm identity and show that there is no hostility.

The young monkey accepts Punch’s approach without aggression, and soon after they begin grooming together.
Moments like this show that Punch is slowly being accepted into the troop.

We hope you enjoy watching Punch take another small step toward becoming part of the group.
