Punch, a monkey that has gone viral for his comfort plushie, was seen being "scolded" by an older monkey, according to the Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan.

At Japan’s Ichikawa City Zoo, a 7-month-old macaque named Punch has developed an online following after his mother abandoned him because of a difficult birth.

Punch has rarely been seen without it since, dragging the cuddly toy everywhere even though it is bigger than him, and delighting fans who have flocked to the zoo since videos of the two went viral.

If you've spent any amount of time on the internet in the past week, there's no doubt you've seen photos of Punch, the adorable baby monkey (technically, a macaque) who lives at the Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan.

Punch, a Japanese macaque, received an outpour of online love after videos of him clutching a small orangutan plushie at the Ichikawa City Zoo went viral.
