What wonderful creatures to observe. That last one looks pretty old. I wonder if he is wise, too.

 visited the park to observe the lifestyle of the Japanese Macaque.  The Japanese Macaque (Macaca fuscata) is a monkey species 
 native to northern Japan, and is the most northern-living non-human primate, 
 surviving winter temperatures of below -15 °C.  They have brown-gray fur, a red 
 face, hands and bottom, and a short tail - and often seem remarkably human 
 like.</FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/snow-monkeys-of-jigokudani.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.snowjapan.com/img/01DD37C9-710C-42F0-BC49-EFD2B2516428" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/snow-monkeys-of-jigokudani.html">The 
 monkeys have a body length ranging from 80 to 95 cm.  The males weigh 
 around 10-14 kg while the females are usually around 5.5 kg.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/snow-monkeys-of-jigokudani.html"> The park is located in the Yokoyu River valley, which flows down from 
 Shiga Kogen.  At an elevation of 850 meters, the area is called Jigokudani 
 ("Hell's Valley") due to the steep cliffs and hot water steaming out from the 
 earth's surface.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/snow-monkeys-of-jigokudani.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.snowjapan.com/img/F01A944D-BA3F-47C4-9891-21D85FF52872" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/snow-monkeys-of-jigokudani.html">All the
