Japanese Macaque - aka Snow Monkey
In the mountains near Nagano it’s cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey…
However, there is a hot-spring and some humans have built a nice hot tub and put out some food. So it’s probably not that bad.

10年以上ぶりに、地獄谷野猿公苑(スノーモンキーパーク)に行ってきました🐵
前回は理由は覚えていないけど、ちゃんとしたカメラを持っていかなかったので、いつか「しっかり気合い入れて撮影したい」と思っていたのです。
今回、念願が叶いました❗️
お猿さんたち、温泉でゆったり過ごしていましたよ♨️
たくさん写真撮れて、楽しかった😄

This is a black-and-white photograph of a monkey, captured in a close-up portrait. The monkey is facing slightly to the right but looking forward with a calm, somewhat solemn expression. Its eyes appear thoughtful and deep-set. The fur around its head is messy and sticks out in different directions, giving it a windswept look. Its face is mostly hairless, with fur framing it like a mane. The chest and upper body are visible, appearing smooth with less fur. The background is softly blurred, creating a gentle contrast that makes the monkey stand out clearly. The mood of the image feels quiet and reflective. The photograph is credited to Gregory Rothman, dated 2018, in the top right corner.
I love the contemplative expression on this #SnowMonkey and I love that its wet hair looks like a zipped up wind breaker.

I love reflections too.
I had the immense pleasure to visit Japan earlier this year and this is one of my most favorite photos from a favorite memory.

In this quiet, wintry moment at Jigokudani Monkey Park in Nagano, Japan, a Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata) — commonly known as a snow monkey — rests beside a natural hot spring set aside just for its kind. This park is famous for allowing these highly intelligent primates to enjoy the steamy onsen waters undisturbed during the long, snowy winter. The monkey in the foreground is captured in sharp detail. Its thick, beige-brown fur is damp from the steam-filled air, and its pink, expressive face is turned thoughtfully to the side. There’s a small dot of dirt or grit on its chin — a perfectly imperfect detail that brings warmth and authenticity to the scene. One arm stretches out to grip a cold rock, while the rest of its body seems caught in a moment of quiet stillness, as if taking in the comfort of the misty surroundings. Behind this lone figure, partially obscured by the rising steam, other snow monkeys lounge peacefully in the onsen, their fur wet and their bodies relaxed in the mineral-rich warmth. Some sit in groups, others recline alone — soaking, grooming, or simply enjoying the heat. Their presence adds to the sense of community and calm that defines this special place. The surrounding landscape is rugged and cold — snow-dusted rocks and icy air contrast with the comfort of the hot spring. But the macaques are undeterred. This unique behavior — bathing in hot springs to survive the freezing temperatures — is a cultural trait among these monkeys, passed down over generations. It’s a rare example of learned behavior in wild primates and one of the most iconic wildlife experiences in Japan. Steam rises gently from the water, blending with the snow and mist in the air. The scene feels both ancient and intimate, like a glimpse into a secret world where wild animals have found a way to soften winter’s bite with warmth, patience, and a bit of shared wisdom.
