IKEA won over the internet with a heartfelt gesture for Punch, the baby monkey who went viral after his mother abandoned him.
Born in July 2025 at Ichikawa City Zoo in Chiba, Japan, the monkey became a social media talking point for his adorable attachment to a stuffed toy.
The plushie, given to him by his caretakers, is believed to be IKEA’s popular DJUNGELSKOG orangutan. Touched by the story, IKEA Japan donated several stuffed plushies to Punch during a recent visit to the zoo.
