Some good news…
Viral monkey Punch from Japan has already found a girlfriend, and people’s hearts are melting seeing him happy 🥹
Punch, a young macaque from Ichikawa Zoo, first went viral after he was seen carrying a plush toy for comfort when he was rejected by his mother. His story made many people emotional online.
Now, new videos show Punch spending time with another baby monkey named Moe. The two are seen sitting close together, playing, grooming each other, and even sharing moments that fans are calling a “kiss.”
This is a big change for Punch, who was earlier struggling to fit in with other monkeys. While he still keeps his plush toy, he now has a friend who enjoys being with him.
Fans around the world are happy to see Punch finally finding love and living a better, happier life.
