Google’s latest Search Easter egg celebrates Punch, the viral baby macaque from the Ichikawa City Zoo, by showering results for "Punch the Monkey" with hearts and hand-drawn icons. This interactive tribute marks the primate’s journey from being abandoned by his mother to finding comfort with a plush toy and finally integrating into his troop.

Punch the Monkey
A heartwarming new Easter egg has taken over Google Search, and it is not tied to a movie release or a tech anniversary. 

Instead, it is a digital tribute to Punch, a seven-month-old Japanese macaque at the Ichikawa City Zoo who has become a global viral sensation.

Here's How to Do It

  1. Go to www.google.com.
  2. Type "Punch the Monkey" or "Punch Monkey" into the Google search bar on desktop or mobile.
  3. A shower of colorful, graffiti-style hearts cascades down your screen.
  4. Look closely and you will see small, hand-drawn icons of the baby monkey clinging to his famous orange plushie interspersed with the hearts.
