【パンチくん日記🐵】今日は市川市動植物園は休園日なので昨日の続きをどうぞ。でもパンチが何かにまた怯えてる、もしかしてフラッシュバック？【Monkey Punch's Diary_2026/5/6】

[Punch's Diary 🐵] Today Ichikawa City Zoological Park is closed, so here's a continuation from yesterday (afternoon). Punch seems scared of something again, could it be a flashback? Filmed on the afternoon of May 6, 2026. This video tracks Punch's growth at Ichikawa City Zoological Park. I go frequently, so I don't go to the front row; I film from the back. I watch Punch through the gaps. Of course, when it's completely empty and no one is there, I watch from the front row, but otherwise I watch from the back. I also watch from the back during feeding time. Punch is a Japanese macaque born in July 2025. He started spending time in the monkey enclosure at Ichikawa City Zoological Park on January 19, 2026. It seems Punch does have a mother, but due to it being her first birth and the summer heat, she abandoned her offspring... The zookeepers were raising Punch, who couldn't survive on his own, but they decided that raising him artificially indefinitely wouldn't be good for him, so they released him into the monkey enclosure at Ichikawa City Zoological and Botanical Garden on January 19, 2026, and are currently monitoring his progress. Initially, he was bullied by various older monkeys, but he persevered and his gradual growth is very inspiring and heartwarming. Also, the orangutan plush toy that Punch has (Orang-mama) is because Japanese macaques, like humans, are raised by their mothers, so they get stressed without a mother. They gave Punch an IKEA orangutan plush toy, and he started hugging it. In the past, when they gave him a Rilakkuma plush toy, he seemed to think it was his mother or a friend and hugged it. However, that monkey (Otome-chan) let go of the plush toy and became independent at around 1 year and 2 months old, so Punch might also let go of Orang-mama in a few months. By the way, Otome-chan is also in the same zoo!? Her adorable image of holding an orangutan plushie has resonated worldwide, making her incredibly popular. Let's all watch over Punch-kun together! Furthermore, four baby monkeys were born in the spring of 2026, so we're excited to see how they grow. #monkeypunch #panchkun #panch #GoPunch #IchikawaCityZoo #japantravel
