epaselect epa12775620 Seven-month-old male macaque Punch grabs the leg of caretaker Kosuke Shikano during feeding at Ichikawa City Zoo and Botanical Garden in Ichikawa, near Tokyo, Japan, 25 February 2026. Punch the monkey, whose images holding an orangutan plush toy as a surrogate mother went viral on social media after he was rejected by his mother shortly after birth, has turned the zoo into one of Japan's most talked-about attractions. Caretaker Kosuke Shikano reassures visitors that Punch is gradually showing less attachment to the stuffed orangutan and now uses it only while sleeping. After being bullied, Punch is slowly joining the group but still clings to Shikano's leg at feeding time. EPA/FRANCK ROBICHON
