Young Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata) / Snow monkey soaking in hot thermal spring pool, Joshin-etsu National Park, Honshu, Japan
The Japanese macaque is a terrestrial Old World monkey species native to Japan. It is also sometimes known as the snow monkey because it lives in areas where snow covers the ground for months each year — no primate, with the exception of humans, is more northern-living, nor lives in a colder climate.
