JAPANESE SNOW MONKEYS
The following photographs are of the Japanese Snow Monkey, or Macaque, who live in the Nagano mountains of Japan. The monkeys do not live in a zoo, rather the Shiga Kogen Highland region which has a large number of natural hotsprings. In the winter the temperature is well below freezing, and often the monkeys will stay warm by soaking in the hotsprings. Mark offers international photography tours including Japan, featuring the snow monkeys.
