Punch, a baby macaque, became an internet star and went viral after the zoo posted photos of him clutching an IKEA plush orangutan for comfort after being rejected by his mother. This popularity has led to a surge in visitors to the zoo.
Recently, images on social media showed a person scaling a fence and jumping into the enclosure where Punch found fame. The individual was wearing a costume that included a smiley face head with sunglasses, prompting the monkeys to scatter.
Two Americans were arrested in Japan after breaking into the viral macaque's enclosure.
