The story of this little monkey named Punch made people emotional. When his mother refused to adopt him shortly after his birth, he was left alone. Later, pictures appeared of him sitting tightly in it, holding a soft toy, as if he found his mother’s shadow in it.
The story of Punch, a baby monkey born in a zoo in Japan, has captivated everyone on the Internet. Shortly after his birth, his mother refused to adopt him and left him alone. Later, when her photos surfaced, people started feeling emotional on social media. Where he was sitting hugging a soft toy. But the question is why did the mother do this?
According to experts, even in animals, sometimes a mother does not accept her child immediately. This may be due to stress, becoming a first-time mother, or postpartum confusion. If the mother feels that the child is weak or feels uncomfortable, she can maintain her distance. This behavior may seem cruel to humans, but it sometimes appears in wildlife.

When Punch didn’t get support from his mother, zoo staff began caring for him. He was fed milk from a bottle and a soft toy was kept nearby. The amazing thing is that Bunch clung to that toy like it was his new mother. Experts say that young animals need emotional security, and if there is no real mother, they will latch onto anything.
Will Punch be left alone now?
At first, even the other monkeys did not accept it easily. But efforts are gradually being made to integrate it into the group. Hopefully, over time, he will learn social behavior and become part of the herd. The story of Punch teaches us that animals also feel emotions and that they also need love and protection.
