This month, the story of Punch- Kun has touched hearts around the world.
At just 6 days old, only 500 grams, he was abandoned by his mother. We may never know the full reason, some report suggest baby blues, first -time motherhood overwhelmed, or high stress.
Even in the animal world. Motherhood can be complicated.
To comfort him. Zookeepers gave Punch a small stuffed orangutan. He quickly became attached to it, clinging to it the way baby monkeys cling to their mothers for warmth, safety, and reassurance. Now he carries it everywhere, finding comfort in something soft to hold onto.
His story is heartbreaking, but also a reminder. In the real human world, many new mum face emotional battles too. Baby blues are real. Overwhelm is real. And struggle does not mean a lack of love.
