Social media has been flooded with clips of Punch and a female macaque. She is believed to be named Momo-chan – with many calling her Punch's “new girlfriend” or “other half,” mentioned a report by New York Post. Several other videos captured the duo hanging out together — and Punch’s beloved stuffed animal also made a cameo! Netizens across Asia, Europe and North America began clips of Punch, describing him as “heart-melting” and “too pure for the internet”. Speaking about Punch's attachment to his soft toy ‘mama,’ animal behaviour experts – that time – had said that the baby monkey's attachment is not unusual.
