Meet Punch — a macaque from a Japanese zoo with a difficult story His mother abandoned him, and the caretakers raised him by hand. Later, he was moved into an enclosure with other monkeys, but he struggled to integrate into the group.

After a viral video, visitors began coming specifically to see him, but he still plays alone, holding his plush “mom” close to his chest.
