@abc7chicago: Punch, the abandoned monkey who soared to fame after being seen tugging around a stuffed toy, was filmed seeking comfort with the plushie after he was beaten by older monkeys at Ichikawa Zoo in Japan on Thursday, February 19. Video taken by TikTok user @tate_punch shows Punch being thrown around by a larger monkey before running away to sit on top of his stuffed toy. The baby monkey was put into the macaque enclosure in late January following a period of hand-rearing by zoo keepers after he was abandoned by his mother. The orangutan plush was given to Punch to serve as a surrogate mother and to provide tactile comfort. #news #punch #monkey #abandonedmonkey #punchthemonkey #zoo #japan
