PostAmazing Japanse Macaques In Northern Japan

The Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata), also known as the snow monkey, is a terrestrial Old World monkey species native to Japan, although an introduced free-ranging population has been living near Laredo, Texas since 1972. It is the most northern-living as well as the most polar-living non-human primate. In Japan, they were historically known as saru (“monkey”). Nihonzaru (Nihon “Japan” + saru) is used in modern times to distinguish from other primates. Individuals have brown-gray fur, a red face, and a short tail and love swimming :) .
