Japanese Macaque, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, Yamanouchi--Jigokudani (Hot Springs / Snow Monkey Park) 14 February 2019
More images.
Sometimes called Snow Monkeys, these are the northernmost wild population of non-human primates in the world. Their thick fur allows them to tolerate winter temperatures as low as -20° C. Here a female is cradling her infant at the edge of a hot spring. Two subspecies have been described. These are the nominate race found on the main islands. Another race characterized by brown fur and smaller size is restricted to the island of Yakushima. Canon PowerShot SX60.
