Punch, a monkey at Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan, had no friends. His mother abandoned him. He was struggling to integrate. But legions of fans from around the world have been cheering on the 7-month-old macaque, who is often clinging to a large stuffed orangutan for comfort. https://nyti.ms/4s6cYNj | The New York Times

The macaque is a clever and adaptable monkey found in parts of Asia and North Africa. They are social and curious, often using their hands and feet skillfully to climb, grab food, and explore. Remarkably, macaques can sometimes run on two legs and even jump like humans, especially when carrying something or moving quickly, showing their agility and intelligence.
