A heartwarming animal story has taken the internet by storm as a baby monkey named Punch wins hearts around the world with his touching bond with a stuffed toy.

Punch was born at Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan. Shortly after birth, he was abandoned by his mother and struggled to socialize with other monkeys at the zoo.

Concerned about his emotional well-being, zookeepers gave Punch a stuffed orangutan toy to help him feel comforted and secure. The toy quickly became his constant companion, earning the nickname “oran-mom” from staff and visitors.

Photos and videos of Punch clinging to the plush toy were shared on social media and soon went viral, drawing millions of views and increasing visitor interest at the zoo.

From a lonely beginning to global affection, Punch’s story has touched people worldwide, serving as a reminder of resilience, emotional healing, and the comfort found in unexpected places.
