An abandoned monkey named "Punch" who soared to fame after being seen pulling around a soft toy was filmed seeking comfort with the plushie after he was attacked by older macaques at Ichikawa Zoo in Japan on Thursday. The stuffed orangutan had been given to him after he was abandoned by his mom, to serve as a surrogate mother and to provide tactile comfort. | ABC7

Punch, the abandoned baby monkey who once struggled to bond with others in his zoo enclosure, appears to have made a friend. In a video posted on Instagram on Feb 24, Punch can be seen clinging to a fellow macaque as they gently groom Punch's favourite orangutan plushie together. #punch #punchthemonkey #hangintherepunch🐵 | CNA
