The Elders

Goron (ゴロン)

Goron with Otome's daughter, Yae, August 2014
Born in 1980, the alpha at the time of Otome and Ryu's integration. He was very protective of the both of them and would keep them in his sight and chase off monkeys that bothered them. He would often go after Akira. The top-ranking female, Momo, begin picking on him as he grew older, and as a result he lost his alpha status. He would later suffer partial paralysis, likely due to a brain hemorrhage, which required amputation of the affected leg. Even after this though, Goron persevered; after waking his immediate reaction was to find food. Loved cabbage the most, especially in his later years.#OtomeChan

Punch fought with his big sisters, and even the "injured" sister decided to join the meeting! 😁😂 Luckily, she seemed to take it easy on him.
Then another big sister stepped in, and suddenly it turned into a full-on monkey mountain wrestling championship! 😤😂🐒
A serious matter? I don't think so! In Monkey Mountain, nobody believes anyone's punch drama anyway😤😤😤😂.
Five minutes later they'll probably be sitting together eating snacks like nothing happened. 😂😂

💔 I can’t stop thinking about this moment. While Grandpa was peacefully sleeping, little Punch quietly came over and gently held both of his hands. No one taught him to do that. No one asked him to. It was such a natural, pure gesture that it melted my heart instantly. 🥹❤️

OMG, Punch! 😂😂 It’s absolutely incredible that, after all that, as if by some miraculous intervention, 👀 your leaf 🌱 that you started with, seemed to magically 🪄 blow back out, just for you to end! 💥

Then you and your sweet, 🫠 round-bellied self didn’t miss a beat and simply picked up your leaf.❤️‍🔥 🌱

Punch left Mom in the rain 🤣 and just stood there looking helpless, waiting for someone to rescue her. But as we all know, nobody wanted to touch the plushie because Punch never even lets a fly get near his mom! How could anyone dare help? 😂
So there he was playing around near my mom . After a while, he bravely tried to drag her away... but nope, not happening ☹️😂. He even tried using his legs for extra power 😄.
Meanwhile Mom was probably thinking, "Don't bother, fatty 😂. You're way too small for this job. I'll take care of myself! 👍"
In the end, Punch walked away like, "Sorry Mom... you're waaay too big for me 😭😁" and zoomed off 💨💨😂.

Ryu (リュウ)

Ryu grooming an elder, October 2015
The third hand-reared macaque, born June 5th, 2009, he was found abandoned but quiet, with minor scrapes. He too was hand-reared, and was given an Anpanman plushy. His mother, Hana, was a low-ranking timid monkey, and kept her distance from others; her nature may have made it difficult for her to become a first time mom. He was introduced to the other monkeys at ~2 months old, where he quickly became friends with Otome. They would soon begin spending nights together in a back area, with her essentially becoming his "big sister". At ~5 months they would leave the cage door open for Ryu to come out as he pleased during mealtimes so he could practice eating with the other monkeys, and he would quickly learn to stuff food in his cheeks. In early Summer of 2010, Ryu became less dependent on his plushy, but Otome had also destroyed it (she may have thought of it as a toy like she did with her Rilakkuma), although I had not seem him use it as much as other monkeys even before she destroyed it. As his integration progressed, he would also become close with the alpha at the time, Goron, who previously looked after Otome as well; he would frequently jump on Goron's back. Unfortunately Goron seemed to lose his hearing as he aged and did not protect Ryu as much after that. Ryu, like his mother, was a timid monkey. When most other monkeys would approach him, he would often scream, which made him get even more unwanted attention. He would often shield Nanako, a younger hand-reared macaque, from other monkeys during her integration. Akira would be one of the monkeys who would pick on him sometimes, along with his mother, Chobi. Despite these troubles, Ryu had integrated into the troop, however he would be caught in a fight a few years later age 6, with injuries that unalived Ryu (*"Little Dragon"*)

Punch was hiding from the rain in the rock shelter when Momiage arrived, proudly walking on two legs with leaves in both hands like a tiny grocery shopper. 😂🍃
She marched right up to Punch, sat beside him, and dropped the leaves in front of him as if saying, "Here, brother, I brought lunch!" 😆
Meanwhile, Punch looked cute. while the tiny potato 🥔 and orange 🍊 sibling duo enjoyed their rainy-day break together. 🥰😂

#Punch pics from my JP friends
Yep I love (♥ω♥)  top quality 😍and #Punchi is embracing early summer beautifully and pulling off an enormous upgrade! wow❤
He confidently climbs to the top of Monkey Mountain and mingles with the girls. Just a month and a half ago, he’d climb up only to turn around and come back down. 😅🙉
He’d watch his friends diving and swimming, give it a shy try, and play with the splashing water droplets.

Now he’s showing the fully upgraded summer edition and has become so much braver. His rank in the troop seems to have risen too he fights back in chases and scuffles and is even learning to throw punches! 🙉😂🤣😎 .
He looks like he’s enjoying his zoo lunch box,well TYVM ❤which is wonderful to see. ❤️and

When sketching Punch, he gives off that classic Japanese manga vibe:
Inuyasha: , the strikingly handsome character who’s calm yet delightfully quirky, but packs tremendous power.
Naruto : the clever one.
Punch blends the best of both: a quirky, fun-loving zoo monkey baby who also loves to contemplate, gazing up at the sky and watching the clouds drift by.
Next month he’ll turn one. 🐾❤
This little guy is our bento-loving heartthrob. He seems like he’ll thrive. But these two already feel like they’re hitting puberty? 🤣🙉
Have a great day (๑>ᴗ<๑) ❤

[Therapeutic Videos @therapeuticvids]

Wait, how many monkeys are chasing Punch Kun around that big circle? (june 12) 😂❤️

Punch and Momiage started playing, then he turned it into their favorite game, full speed chase around the rock. The playground just got bigger and way more chaotic with all these new players joining in the circle.

Nothing warms my heart more than seeing Punch this happy and full of energy 🐵🤗

‼️Today, 🗓️ little Punch was all wet 😂 as he spent time splashing at the pond 💦 and with his Grandpa Atomaru! 💪

Punch, being his usual nosy self, 🤭was observing 👀everything around him. Suddenly, he found himself drenched in 💦 water. It seemed like another mischievous monkey had playfully pushed him into the 💦 water. 🐒❤️‍🔥🌱
