Japanese Macaque ! A chilly guy for a chilly day here in New England. They live the furthest north of all the primates (except humans) and bathe in hot springs in the winter. :-)
[ID: an illustration of a macaque sitting facing to the left, looking toward the viewer with a calm expression. It is on a mottled purple background with green lichens and moss-covered stones. End.]

Animal of the Day!
Japanese Macaque (Macaca fuscata)
(Photo from iStock)
Conservation Status- Least Concern
Habitat- Japan excluding Hokkaido
Size (Weight/Length)- 11 kg; 82 cm
Diet- Leaves; Seeds; Fruits; Small mammals
Cool Facts- The Japanese macaque might be the most northern living primate, but their winters are spent living like kings. Living in female-run societies, Japanese macaques pass down their status to their offspring. Spending their days grooming, chatting, and babysitting, these primates spend the majority of their lives on the ground outside of feeding. During harsh winters, Japanese macaques form mega groups around hot springs. The macaques rarely leave the warm water and only do so to grab a quick snack. Younger macaques have been seen rolling snowballs and playing in snow.
Rating- 11/10 (Snow monkeys.)

Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata)
Beaten only by humans for the title of the furthest-north primate, this monkey lives in a huge range of climates on the islands of Japan, including snowy and mountainous regions. They are famous for their habit of spending time in hot springs to escape the cold. They are also rather intelligent, one group of macaques inventing the idea to wash their food before consumption. They eat a variety of foods, including leaves, fruits, bark, roots, insects, fish, soil, and fungus. Finally, the Japanese macaque is another species of monkey in which homosexuality has been documented; it has even been proposed that most female members of this species are bisexual!

I wanted to show you guys my little baby Japanese macaque in planet zoo, his name is Gremlin (in a nice way) because he looks so ridiculous and cute! I love his big fluffy head and I thought you would, too :)
I love Planet Zoo! I love how realistic the animals are. I think this guy is very cute, perhaps a little bit cuter than his real life counterparts. Give him enrichment for me!
