Japanese Snow Monkeys

Every winter high in the snowy hills of Nagano prefecture, wild Japanese macaques can be found escaping the bitter chills of winter in the steamy geothermal hot springs that are ubiquitous in the volcanic islands of Japan. The enjoyment that these monkeys take in the hot springs is so complete that it can sometimes get a bit creepy.
