Japanese Snow Monkeys in November at Jigokudani Monkey Park

The Japanese macaque, also known as the snow monkey, is a terrestrial Old World monkey species that is native to Japan. They get their name "snow monkey" because they live in areas where snow covers the ground for months each year – no other nonhuman primate is more northern-living, nor lives in a colder climate. Individuals have brown-grey fur, red faces, and short tails.

Jigokudani Monkey Park near Nagano is known for its large population of snow monkeys, which descend from the steep surrounding cliffs during the day to sit in and near the warm hot springs.
