This little guy was defending his slushy turf and doing a pretty good job of it. We were in Japan in late March and things were definitely starting to melt up at Jigokudani Hotsprings near Nagano. Other than humans, Japanese macaques are the most northerly living primates (but I think I already mentioned that in a previous post.)
Silly monkey. You’re going to die someday. And that territory you’re protecting will be someone else’s who won’t give a damn about you, and very likely was the cause of your undoing. But go ahead and fight. Because that’s all you can do. It’s all you’ll ever know. Amen.
He seems pretty pissed off Sean. Were you provoking him with a banana off camera or something?!!! ;-))) What happens when the snow melts? Is he just called monkey in the summer months?
