Yay! 😂🤎 kissed and made up! One buddy back in the gang! Whatever little disagreement they had, it's lovely to see them making up. Punch needs all his little friendships. 🐵💕

After having a debate a couple of days ago with people claiming Moe doesn't care about Punch or love him anymore, well… THIS happened yesterday!!!!!!! ♥️♥️
And again today!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Punch had been attacked, right? Guess who showed up?
Moe came over and gently tapped our boy on the head. Punch seemed to know exactly what that little tap meant.
Come on, jump on my back, kiddo. Let's go!
And that's exactly what he did. Punch climbed aboard, and precious Moe carried him up the stairs on her back. 🥹
Now, tell me she doesn't care about him anymore!
You don't always have to be together to have a bond. Sometimes it's about being there when it matters.
Moe might give him space, she might tell him off occasionally, but when Punch needs reassurance, she still shows up.
That's a special connection. ❤️🐵

★ Whenever I look back, it still gets me emotional. Punch's journey has never been an easy one, and it still isn't. But he's kept going, and that says so much about the little macaque we see today. ♥︎

‼️✨YIKES, 😱 What is ✈️ THAT! 🙈 Lil’ Punch 👀 was startled by an airplane ✈️ that flew overhead! Fortunately, once he got used to it, he 🧊 chilled on a log 🪵 wall, like nothing 💅 with his little legs 😂 dangling in front of him!✨❤️🔥

Why does one innocent little monkey attract so much hatred? 🤔🐒
Punch has brought thousands of people together from all over the world. He's introduced many to Japanese macaques and inspired a genuine interest in their lives.
So why the bitterness?
A little reflection on compassion, jealousy and the strange amount of hostility directed towards an innocent animal.
WHY THE HATE? 🤎

Sleepy little poppet 🤎🐵
Punch! 🥹
Looks a little worse for wear, bless him. 🤎🐵

Just what the doctor ordered! 🤎 Punch found his guardian angel, someone to lean against and sleep beside. A little reassurance, comfort and security after his ordeal. Sometimes all you need is a comforting presence. 🥹
Adorable Punch, hang in there, buddy. 🤎🐒

Since Ichikawa Zoo reopened, Punch's mounting seems to be everyone's new obsession. And the conversation is overwhelmingly negative.
Before making uneducated assumptions, perhaps learn about macaque behaviour!
1. Social play and bonding – sometimes young monkeys misread boundaries.
2. It's breeding season.
3. Punch is male.
4. He's NOT the only one mounting.
5. Mounting isn't automatically sexual or dominance. He's to young!..
6. Punch gets mounted too. Where's the outrage then?
Today's incident didn't justify a 3-against-1 attack.
It's genuinely sad seeing adults jump to conclusions instead of educating themselves. How can we expect children to learn when adults refuse to look beyond black-and-white thinking?
Educate before you criticise. Punch is still growing and learning. 🤎🐒

Wrote this article a couple of days ago, but after today's events, I thought it was particularly fitting. Sometimes it's worth taking a step back, understanding the behaviour and educating ourselves before jumping to conclusions. 🤎🐒 📚👇

Laid in bed absolutely pmsl at this 😂
Had to slow it down as well! One friend started with Punch, then another came waltzing in like Crazy Frog 🐸 kicking him in the face, before KO’ing him by landing on him with his ass! 🤣
Punch’s slow reaction and that little squint 😆 followed by his cute little bitey mouth 😂 I can't cope with him! 🤎🐒

My latest article explores Nepotism, Matriarchy and the Making of a Macaque Hierarchy — understanding the family ties, inherited rank and relationships that shape life within a troop, and how Punch's journey began differently.
📚 Thank you for reading and supporting Punch's story.
🤎 One Punch, Never Two. LEGEND. 🐒👑

‼️✨Stay the Course! 💪 Lil’ Punch is quite clever! 🐵 After a day of failure, he stayed focused on grooming his big 🐒 friend expertly, not allowing any distractions until he finally 😂 was able to use him as a pillow for a 💤 nap!✨❤️🔥
