Punch’s Critical UPDATE: New Zookeeper Monkey Feeding Method to Integration at Ichikawa City Zoo

Starting the week of June 29, 2026, the Ichikawa City Zoo is implementing a major change to update Punch the monkey’s feeding routine. This strategic shift is a "critical first step" designed specifically to support his social growth and facilitate his integration into the monkey mountain troop. While his signature feeding habits (#ごはモ) are expected to remain consistent, this new method leverages Punch’s natural behaviors—especially his high energy and "wacha-wacha" (bustling) activity seen after the park closes to help him bond with the rest of the troop. Follow along as we support Punch in this vital transition! #がんばれパンチ #市川市動植物園 #ごはモ #PunchTheMonkey #MacaqueSocialization #AnimalIntegration #IchikawaZoo #ZooLife2026
