The Japanese zoo housing Punch, the baby monkey turned viral internet sensation, insists that he is not being bullied after concerns were raised online.
Punch, a seven-month-old macaque abandoned by his mother, gained global attention after he was seen clinging to a plush orangutan toy from IKEA at the Ichikawa City Zoo near Tokyo. He was seen in videos being chased away by other monkeys but was eventually taken in by a troop and cared for.
