Shot by Sean Weekly, this stunning footage captures Japan’s famous snow monkeys thriving in the depths of winter. Blanketed in fresh snow, the resilient Japanese macaques go about their day unfazed by the freezing temperatures.One particularly charming moment shows a monkey scooping up fresh snow to eat, while another young macaque relaxes peacefully in a steaming natural hot spring as snowflakes drift gently around it. Nearby, a watchful mother keeps a close eye on her infant from the warmth of the geothermal waters.Seand said “The Snow Monkeys of Hells Valley in Japan live in areas where snow covers the ground for months each year. No other non-human primate is more northern-living, nor lives in a colder climate than these Monkeys. “Japanese macaques are most famous for their habit of bathing in hot springs. The group will travel to these hot springs and huddle in the warm baths to escape the freezing temperatures. “
