I just saw a video with this monkey being harassed by other monkeys and then running to hug his toy, it was really sad
The monkey has since been adopted by a mother in the enclosure. I was super bummed when I seen that video so I had to look into it a bit. ☺
Yeah, I did too :(((
Why can’t people see my relationship with my AI girlfriend as cute? I think it’s cute.
This isn’t cute. It’s tragic. The same applies to your “girlfriend”.
Poor Punch macaque.
what does this comment mean? is this a one piece reference or something?
I don’t have the link right now, but I saw yesterday (with picture confirmation) that an adult had finally groomed and hugged this little guy.
Edit: Here’s some video of him getting groomed. https://www.newsflare.com/video/839672/baby-monkey-punch-being-groomed-by-elder-monkeys
Best news ever 🥹
And here is a pic:
I’m going to turn my phone off and count the day as a success after seeing this. Thank you
I luckily saw this photo before I saw the original video somehow. It was still hella fuckin’ sad and made my heart break, but if I had seen the original first I would have been bawling.
Instead I was like “Don’t worry Punch! Your adoptive family is otw Little Guy!”
IDK this is less aww and more depressing IMO… This world can be a cruel and vile place… The poor thing looks miserable.
A veil of tears if you will
Fucking relatable.
So cute! Poor baby.
Zoos are gross and inhumane. This is type of behavior happens when animals are kept in captivity and it’s really gross to portray the zoo as the “nice” party for giving a 10€ plush as a replacement mom.
No this kind of behavior happens in nature as well. First time mothers often reject their baby and then the baby just dies.
I am no fan of zoos, but this behavior happens in the wild as well, when the mother is stressed, inexperienced, and/or lacks social support. Nature can be really fucking cruel and inhumane. Many and more animal babies die of starvation before they can get through their first few days… some species it’s actually more common than successful parentage.
That poor baby 😭 I can’t imagine the restraint it must take not to constantly snuggle the lil guy. Rooting for him though 🩵

Update: he has been accepted and groomed by an adult monkey:
That was the update I needed today, thank you kind Internet stranger.
This could do with a content warning. It’s a distressing read. Extremely so at times.
