Punch the Monkey update! THERE’S A NEW BABY MONKEY!!!!!

It's been a few weeks since I checked in on Punch and we are back to see how he's doing. We came for the 3:00 feeding and in the last few weeks they made a lot of changes. They now have barricades set up so you can't get very close to the fence at all. What I love is they do have a separate area for little kids so that they're able to view close-up on the fence, which is so nice. Punch was running around. He was super active as he waited around for dinner time. To my surprise, there is also a new little baby monkey that was just born a few weeks ago. Most of the time it was being protected by its mother, but she did let it go for some supervised learning to walk time. I cannot believe that we saw this special little moment. Now it's feeding time and Punch of course latched onto his caretaker and took a little ride around on his leg. It's so hard to get a good shot of the enclosure now that you're so far back. But once he made his rounds, he kneelled down with Punch to try to get him back to the ground. Like usual, Punch had other plans and he hopped back up and into the back room they went. And that's the latest with Punch. He did not have his toy today. He seems to be integrating really well with the troop. And surprise, the new baby newborn monkey here is so cute. I can't believe we caught a glimpse of it learning to walk. Love you, Punch. Bye.
