Monkey Business

The Japanese macaque or snow monkey lives on all but the northernmost of Japan's main islands. Takasakiyama Natural Zoological Garden on Kyushu is famous for operating a refuge for over 1,300 monkeys in a natural area. From 1953, the monkeys have been kept away from local farms by providing regular feeding.
