The World Melts Over Punch, The Rescued Baby Monkey From Japan. But In Macedonia, We’ve Been Living This Story For Years.

The internet is moved by Punch, the baby monkey from Japan who clings to a plush toy after being rejected by his mother.

But in Skopje Zoo, this is not a viral headline — it’s a reality we have lived for years.

Zoo caretaker Zera has raised abandoned baby monkeys with her own hands. Luka, Dino, Delfina and Miki were rejected at birth, left without warmth or protection. In her arms, they found safety, love and a second chance.

This isn’t a trend.

This is devotion.

This is unconditional love.
