           Japanese Macaque






           These beautifully furry ‘snow monkeys’ display a range of behaviour that is
           startlingly human, from bathing to baby-sitting, from flavouring their food to
           snowball fights! In fact, Japanese macaques have become a favourite with

           researchers thanks to their intelligence and complex social lives.

























                                       Teeth
                                       Despite the male’s impressive-
                                       looking canine teeth, macaques
                                       are mainly frugivores (fruit-
                                       eaters), although their diet
                                       varies through the year.
