The macaque with Punch today was Ami, the second daughter of Momo, one of Ichikawa's most influential high-ranking matriarchs. 🤎🐵 It's always fascinating to see Punch spending time with members of such an established family.
("We all remember the Senior macaque who was badly injured after being attacked in the tunnel. She was left with a deep open wound on her shoulder, a bent finger, and the hunched posture many of us now recognize.
Second daughter of Momo and was often described as quiet and unassuming, much like Hana, unlike her two younger sisters who were known for their bolder personalities.
Looking at these photos, it's remarkable how little Ami has changed over the years. Aside from the injuries she later suffered, she still has the same gentle expression she had over a decade ago. Unfortunately her finger remains Bent.
