The Japanese Macaque, also known as the snow monkey, is a species of primate native to Japan. They are known for their thick fur, which helps them survive in cold climates, particularly in the snowy regions of Honshu and Shikoku. These monkeys are highly social and live in troops, often consisting of several females and their young, along with a few males. Japanese Macaques are omnivorous, feeding on a varied diet that includes fruits, seeds, and insects. They are famous for their unique behavior of bathing in hot springs during winter, which helps them stay warm. This species is also notable for its intelligence and adaptability to different environments.
