In Pics: Lisa treats fans with a visit to the viral macaque Punch-kun in JapanThe post included several photos and quickly went viral, leaving social media users smiling. In the pictures, Lisa carried an orangutan plush toy that looked identical to the one the seven-month-old macaque often clutches. Soon after, people noticed that he constantly carried an orangutan plush toy and held it tightly, using it as a substitute for a mother’s embrace. Eventually, they gave Punch an orange, bug-eyed IKEA orangutan plush toy. Viral videos showed the tiny monkey dragging the oversized plush toy around his enclosure.
