Is Punch Crying? Baby Monkey Punch Loves His Caretaker So Much | Japan Zoo Story 🐒💔

Описание: #GoPunch #PunchTheMonkey #IchikawaCityZoo

Punch-kun, a popular monkey at the Ichikawa City Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, has recently captured a lot of attention online.

The reason for this huge reaction began with an announcement posted on the zoo’s official social media account on February 5.

“Currently, there is a baby monkey in the monkey mountain area holding a stuffed toy. He was born on July 26, 2025, and after being found abandoned, he was raised through artificial care. Since January 19 this year, he has been living with the troop. His name is Punch, and he is a boy! Please watch over Punch’s growth with warmth.”

The following day, the zoo encouraged people online by posting:
“Use the hashtag #GoPunch to send your support to Punch!”

Since then, many supportive messages have poured in on social media, such as:
“Everyone is watching over you!”
“Punch-kun, do your best!”
“His brave little efforts really touched my heart!”

A new video of Punch has also created a big reaction online.

The footage shows the Japanese macaque Punch, and many viewers are commenting:
“Is Punch crying? 😭”
“Maybe his eyes are itchy?”

Punch has gained attention both in Japan and internationally. After being abandoned by his mother, his caretaker gave him a stuffed toy, and videos of him playing with it — as well as trying hard to communicate with other monkeys — have melted the hearts of viewers around the world.
