Location
Jigokudani Monkey Park, JapanTime
This image was taken around midday in winter. At this time all the monkeys gather to bath in the hot onsen springsLighting
The monkeys do not like human contact, and even though you have to keep your distance, they will usually give you a warning, when you get too close. I suggest you do not smile, as showing of teeth is seen as aggression to them. They are very human like in their social behaviour.Equipment
