Masturbation is also common in both males and females.

In some troops, all females that participate in same-sex consortships are bisexual, also consorting with males; however, while paired with a female they remain faithful to their partner, ignoring or rebuffing any advances made by males toward them. In other troops, though, some females are exclusively lesbian, engaging in sexual interactions only with females: in these cases, an average of 9 percent of females are homosexual, 56 percent bisexual, and 35 percent exclusively heterosexual.

Japanese Macaques live in cosexual troops of 20-100 individuals, subdivided into smaller matrilineal groups composed of numerous related females and several unrelated males.

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!

食物を取りこぼさないようにする��ニホンザルにおける採食経路の選択

淡路島でこんな研究もやっています！

Joyce, M. M., Teichroeb, J. A., Kaigaishi, Y., Stewart, B. M., Yamada, K., & Turner, S. E. (2023). No food left behind: foraging route choices among free-ranging Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) in a multi-destination array at the Awajishima Monkey Center, Japan [Article]. Primates, 64(5), 495-511. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10329-023-01070-z

食物を取りこぼさないようにする：淡路島モンキーセンターの餌付けニホンザルにおける採食経路の選択

　動物が採食中に移動する際には、経路の選択が求められる。最適採食理論は最適な経路を予測するが、霊長類では常に最短経路が選択されるわけではない。意思決定にかかる認知的および時間的コストを削減するために、ヒューリスティック（経験則に基づく直感的な判断）を利用することが示されてきた。本研究では、淡路島モンキーセンターの餌付けニホンザル29頭を対象に、155回の野外実験を実施して、採食中に選択される経路を分析した。Zの形に設置した6つの台に餌を置いて、対象個体の採食経路を調べることで、どのようなヒューリスティックを利用しているか、個体の年齢、性別、社会的要因（群れの中心個体か周辺個体か、異種または同種の競合他者が近くにいたかどうか）がヒューリスティックの利用、移動距離、試行時間に与える影響を検討した。

　720種類の経路が利用可能な中で、対象個体のニホンザルは偶然よりも高い確率で特定の経路を選択していた。最短経路が最も頻繁に選択されており（23.9%）、続いて、最近傍ヒューリスティック（19.4%：すべての採食地点を利用し終えるまで、現在地から次に近い地点へ連続的に移動し続ける）と凸包ヒューリスティック（4.5%：外側の採食地点を連続して回りながら、端に近い内側の採食地点を訪れる）が選択されていた。また、新たなヒューリスティックとして「スイープ・ヒューリスティック」が頻繁に利用されていた。これは一方向に向けて餌を拾いながら移動することで、残りの餌を全て視野に入れて、他個体からの横取りを警戒するものであった。未成体は成体や準成体よりも試行時間が短く、資源へのアクセスを高めるために移動スピードを速める戦術を採用していた。同種他個体が近くにいる場合には、移動距離が有意に長くなった。これらの結果は、ニホンザルの経路選択には個体の年齢が影響していること、そして「スイープ・ヒューリスティック」は移動距離が長くなるものの、同種他個体との採食競合に対する反応であった可能性を示唆している。（文責：山田一憲）

Unlike heterosexual and lesbian interactions, most mounts between males are single (rather than series) and are generally briefer, although they can still invoice full erections, pelvic thrusting, penetration, and/or ejaculation.
