Apebabyer klamrer seg vanligvis til mødrene sine for trygghet og trøst, så dyrepasserne ga Punch en erstatning i form av en myk orangutang fra Ikea. Baby apes normally cling to their mothers for security and comfort, so the keepers gave Punch a substitute in the form of a soft orangutan from IKEA.

Usage notes
nb IKEA is the company's official capitalization. nb Ikea follows the ordinary Norwegian option of using only an initial capital in a proper-name acronym pronounced as a word, and is common in running text.
The genitive is written Ikeas, without an apostrophe.
