Japanese macaque baby named Punch-kun recently went viral after videos showed him carrying and cuddling a big stuffed toy everywhere he goes.
He was reportedly abandoned by his mother at Ichikawa City Zoo, and zookeepers gave him the plush toy for comfort. The sweet clips of him hugging and sleeping with it touched millions of people online.
Now, he’s known as the “plush-loving monkey,” and many are sending love and support after seeing his emotional story. 🥹😭
