FEATURE - Kleine Affen scheinen zu frieren trotz Thermalbad
Pictured: A monkeys covered in snow
These young monkeys look a little sad as they sit close together in the water and one sticks out his tongue to catch the falling snowflakes. The wild Japanese macaques sit in the hot water, which is around 40 degrees, as a way to keep warm in the minus five degree Celsius weather.
During the winter, the macaques spend their days warming in the hot springs before returning to the surrounding forest at night. Photographer Julia Wimmerlin visited Jigokundani Monkey Park in Yamanouchi, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, where she was able to get up close to the relaxed monkeys. SEE OUR COPY FOR DETAILS.

Japanese snow monkeys, Jigokudani, Nagano, Japan - Dec 2011

Juvenile Japanese snow monkey
Monkeying Around: Japanese Snow Monkeys
If this young monkey's reaction to slipping into a warm bath is anything to go by, these primates really are like humans.
The juvenile Japanese snow monkey was photographed enjoying the famous hot springs at Jigokudani monkey park in Nagano.
Its expressions appear to show sheer bliss as it bathes in the warming waters.
Photographer Ben Torode also captured delightful scenes of grooming and social interaction among the group of Japanese macaques, who are drawn to the welcoming waterhole during the winter.
The group descend from the steep cliffs and forest to sit in the warm waters of the onsen (hotsprings), before returning to the security of the forests in the evenings.
Ben, 35, from Adelaide took up photography after relocating to Tokyo and being "moved by the blooming cherry blossoms here".
He explains: "It seemed the little monkey was just starting to enjoy some time away from its mother, but would often run out of the bath to check where she was. Although in the images it looks like it is in pure heaven as it slips into the bath, although its true joy is the seed it has hidden in its mouth.
"My favourite images would have to be the ones that show intense preening because it reveals how many traits these monkeys share with humans.
"Their hands are extremely delicate and dextrous, they are very social and they are capable of intense concentration. In fact Japanese macaques spend 27.9% of their waking hours engaged in social grooming, as opposed to just 23.5% feeding.
"While you shoot these monkeys, you are not supposed to stare at them too long with your naked eyes because they take it as a sign of aggression, but they don't mind lenses.
"The young ones, however, are much more inquisitive about everything, including the ...

The verreaux sifakas monkey mother 'dancing' with her baby clinging to her back
Verreaux sifakas monkey mother dancing, Madagascar - 03 Mar 2011
This baby lemur shows no sign of being embarrassed at his mum's flamboyant moves as he clings to her back while being carried through a forest. The exhibitionist mum was taking her three-month-old primate through the woodland but looked more like she was breaking into a rendition of 'Stayin' Alive'. Photographer John Devries, from Chainhurst in Kent, captured the verreaux sifakas on camera while on holiday in Madagascar with his wife. He comments: "We were very lucky because the mother had been leaping between the trees and then decided to come to the ground. "I started taking photos and couldn't believe that her baby was on her back. "He didn't look at all bothered by her dancing and when they went back up to the trees he was even reaching out for figs". John added: "I believe they are the only animals in the world that dance from place to place and it was extra special because there was a baby on the mother's back."

Wild long tailed macaque monkey adopts ginger kitten, Monkey Forest Park, Ubud region, Bali, Indonesia - Aug 2010
A wild monkey has stunned animal lovers after it adopted an abandoned kitten and cared for it as his own. The long tailed macaque was spotted in a forest protectively nuzzling and grooming the ginger kitten, making sure no harm came to it. The extraordinary sight was captured by amateur photographer Anne Young while on a holiday to the Monkey Forest Park, in the Ubud region of Bali, Indonesia. Anne, 49, said: "I was thrilled and very surprised to see this scene as this is a wild monkey not a pet. "The young male was very protective of the kitten and became agitated if I went too close, at one stage trying to put a large leaf over it to hide it from my view." The monkey was even wary of other macaques and would not allow other young males to get too close. Meanwhile, the kitten seemed to enjoy the attention being lavished on it by its protective carer and made no effort to leave.

Reinliche Kerlchen: Schimpansen im Budongo Forest Reserve in Uganda benutzen Blättern als Toilettenpapier
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
**VIDEO AVAILABLE: CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM TO RECEIVE**
Scientists studying chimpanzees in Budongo Forest, Uganda, have observed them wiping their bum using leaves as a form of natural toilet paper.
The primates were observed indulging in the human-like behaviour by Dr. Elodie Freymann of the University of Oxford, first author of the article in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution and her team of researchers.
“We also documented hygiene behaviours, including the cleaning of genitals with leaves after mating and wiping the anus with leaves after defecation — practices that may help prevent infections,” she said.
That’s more than some humans manage!
The chimpanzees hygiene routine goes beyond keeping themselves clean after sex or going to the loo - as they also treat their own and others’ injuries.
Although chimpanzees elsewhere have been observed helping other community members with medical problems, the persistent presence of this behaviour in Budongo could suggest that medical care among chimpanzees is much more widespread than we realised, and not confined to care for close relatives.
Their routines could even shed light on how our ancestors first began treating wounds and using medicines.
“Our research helps illuminate the evolutionary roots of human medicine and healthcare systems,” said Dr Freymann. “By documenting how chimpanzees identify and utilize medicinal plants and provide care to others, we gain insight into the cognitive and social foundations of human healthcare behaviours.”
The scientists studied two communities of chimpanzees in the Budongo Forest — Sonso and Waibira. Like all chimpanzees, members of these communities are vulnerable to injuries, whether caused by fights, accidents, or snares set by humans. About 40% of all individuals in Sonso have been seen with snare injuries.
The researchers spent four months observing each community, as well as drawing on video evidence from the Great Ape D *** Loc

It is the third black silhouette composition that the Bristol-based street artist has claimed credit for since Monday.
He has posted an image on Instagram of the monkeys looking as though they were swinging on the bridge of an east London rail station.

With the tourists gone, what now for Lopburi's famous monkeys?
Deprived by the pandemic of their steady diet of treats, the city's omnipresent macaques are turning to outright banditry.
Lopburi, in central Thailand, is overrun with macaques - and managing their presence has only become more challenging in the wake of the pandemic. As Covid brought tourism to an abrupt halt, visitors who once flocked to the city to see and feed its famously mischievous monkeys disappeared, and so too did the endless supply of sugary syrup drinks, yoghurts and fruit. More than two years on, tourism numbers have barely recovered. Instead, the soaring cost of living and fears over monkeypox - despite there being no cases detected in Thailand - have further deterred visitors.
Food vendors in the Thai city of Lopburi can never let down their guard. Thieves are everywhere, and they are both nimble and brazen. "It's almost every day that they take my mango and santol," says Pan Pookyoo, who has sold fruit on the streets of Lopburi for more than three decades.
Monkeys relax by the train tracks on July 5, 2022 in Lopburi, Thailand. Manus Wimuktipan feeds thousands of monkeys daily and houses 20 in his personal garden space. Known for their large and mischievous monkey population, Lopburi hopes that tourism returns now that Thailand reopens. Due to the country's long Covid-19 lockdowns and the emergence of monkeypox cases overseas, residents of Lopburi are concerned that their city might not bounce back. The Department of National Parks has begun a sterilization program in hopes of limiting population growth, while the Lopburi Monkey Foundation continues to feed the city's monkeys with the help of generous donations.
