Perfect merch if Punch the monkey has become your whole personality

You’re so invested in Punch the monkey, and that’s OK

If your group chat has been 90% Punch discourse this week, you’re not alone. The baby macaque at a Japanese zoo went viral after he was rejected by his mother shortly after birth — then quickly bonded with a plush orangutan toy that zookeepers gave him as a source of comfort. Videos of him dragging his stuffed friend around his enclosure have been all over the internet, especially as it appeared to be poor Punch's only friend — the hits kept coming as other monkeys bullied the tiny baby.

Hopeful updates soon followed: Zookeepers said Punch is learning how to socialize with the other monkeys, and has made strides, though he still relies heavily on humans and his stuffed orangutan for comfort. And all of us looking at photos and videos of Punch see “tiny existential crisis” and “he’s just like me." Punch is a real mood.
