Punch the monkey was seen interacting with other members of his troop in video posted to social media by a Japanese zoo.

The video showing Punch interacting with two other monkeys was filmed by a zookeeper, Ichikawa City Zoo said in a post on X.

Punch achieved internet stardom after zookeepers gave him a toy orangutan to hold after his mother abandoned him when he was born.

Reuters verified the location which matched with corroborating visuals. The monkey's features matched with Punch as seen in previous Reuters video. Reuters was not able to confirm the date the video was filmed, but no older version of the footage was posted online before November 8.
