ETThe internet is losing its mind that Punch, the once abandoned monkey, may have a girlfriend. In a video captured on March 11, Punch, the baby macaque, is spotted cuddling up with another macaque in the Ishikawa City Zoo Monkey Mountain enclosure. And for the time being, the girlfriend rumors are just that – rumors. Punch, the now-viral baby monkey, was born at Japan's Ichikawa City Zoo on July 26, 2025. In hopes of consoling Punch, zoo staff gave him a stuffed orangutan.
