Viral baby monkey Punch still drawing crowds to Japan zoo | AFP

Seven-month-old Punch was abandoned by his mother and became an internet sensation after clips of him clinging to a plush orangutan toy for comfort, and seemingly being mistreated by fellow monkeys, went viral online in February.

Hand-raised in an artificial environment immediately after his birth, the small, dark-furred macaque is gradually acclimatising, according to Ichikawa City Zoo where he lives. He is no longer clutching the plushie all the time and is also making a few friends.
