While in Japan an early morning walk in falling snow lead us to the Snow Monkey's. What magnificent creatures living in snow and getting warm in the thermal spring. It was snowing heavily and sticking to the wet hair on the monkeys. Their hair is thick and protects them from the extreme weather. I just loved their facial expressions - so much like humans.
