Snow monkey

Japanese macaques, also called snow monkeys, live farther north than any other non-human primates. Their thick coats help them survive the frigid temperatures of central Japan's highlands. But when the mercury really plummets, they go to plan B: hot-tubbing in the region's many thermal springs.

Both the lives of these Japanese macaques, or snow monkeys, and the forests that are their home, are ruled by the timing and the changing of the seasons of the temperate world.
