At Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan , a baby Japanese macaque named Panchi-kun was abandoned by his mother and hand-raised by zookeepers. Bottle-fed and cared for by humans, he survived — but grew up differently from the rest of his troop.
When reintroduced, he struggled with normal monkey behavior and felt overwhelmed . Now he carries a stuffed toy for comfort , hugging it when anxious. Recently, an adult macaque groomed him for the first time — a small but hopeful step toward belonging .
