It’s spa season for macaques in this Japanese hot spring village. The snow monkeys spend their days in the naturally heated hot springs, not only keeping warm but also learning social skills. 🐒 The snow monkeys started using the hot springs in the 60s, after spending time watching humans enjoy them. It was a case of monkey see-monkey do, and once one snow monkey tried it, the rest did too! ❄️ Now they use the hot springs as a winter retreat every year, going for dips mostly throughout January a
