I don’t remember the last time I saw Punch this happy, playing freely with monkeys his own size.
For so long, constant attacks made the young ones keep their distance only the babies would go near him, because he’s always so gentle with them.
But after the last two days of action by Ichikawa Zoo, things are finally starting to shine. Young monkeys are coming close and playing with him again. He’s even beginning to form bonds with some of the new bigger monkeys.
Really good signs… hoping it continues 🤞
