I just saw a video with this monkey being harassed by other monkeys and then running to hug his toy, it was really sad
Yeah, I did too :(((
Why can’t people see my relationship with my AI girlfriend as cute? I think it’s cute.
Poor Punch macaque.
what does this comment mean? is this a one piece reference or something?
Colbert had fun making this joke. I’m sure there have been others.
That’s the joke.
I don’t have the link right now, but I saw yesterday (with picture confirmation) that an adult had finally groomed and hugged this little guy.
Edit: Here’s some video of him getting groomed. https://www.newsflare.com/video/839672/baby-monkey-punch-being-groomed-by-elder-monkeys
Best news ever 🥹
I luckily saw this photo before I saw the original video somehow. It was still hella fuckin’ sad and made my heart break, but if I had seen the original first I would have been bawling.
Instead I was like “Don’t worry Punch! Your adoptive family is otw Little Guy!”
I’m going to turn my phone off and count the day as a success after seeing this. Thank you
IDK this is less aww and more depressing IMO… This world can be a cruel and vile place… The poor thing looks miserable.
A veil of tears if you will
Zoos are gross and inhumane. This is type of behavior happens when animals are kept in captivity and it’s really gross to portray the zoo as the “nice” party for giving a 10€ plush as a replacement mom.
No this kind of behavior happens in nature as well. First time mothers often reject their baby and then the baby just dies.
I am no fan of zoos, but this behavior happens in the wild as well, when the mother is stressed, inexperienced, and/or lacks social support. Nature can be really fucking cruel and inhumane. Many and more animal babies die of starvation before they can get through their first few days… some species it’s actually more common than successful parentage.
Zoos are gross and inhumane.
If only we lived in a perfect world…
I guess giving up our zoos would destroy us.
Fucking relatable.
So cute! Poor baby.
That poor baby 😭 I can’t imagine the restraint it must take not to constantly snuggle the lil guy. Rooting for him though 🩵
This is so god damn sad
Unfortunately lots of animals just decide their kid sucks and ditch it.
That was the update I needed today, thank you kind Internet stranger.
Modern culture has completely ruined the lightheaded nature of that sentence for me…
This could do with a content warning. It’s a distressing read. Extremely so at times.
