The term "Snow Monkey" commonly refers to the Japanese macaque, a species of monkey native to Japan. These primates are known for their thick fur, which helps them survive in cold climates, particularly in the snowy regions of Honshu and Shikoku islands. They are social animals, often seen in large groups, and are famous for their unique behavior of bathing in hot springs during winter. Snow monkeys are omnivorous, feeding on a varied diet that includes fruits, seeds, insects, and small animals. They are highly intelligent and exhibit complex social structures, with strong bonds formed between family members. Their adaptability to different environments makes them a fascinating subject of study in animal behavior.
