A Japanese macaque bathes in the hot spring of Jigokudani Monkey Park in the mountains of Yamanouchi town, Nagano, central Japan, Thursday, Jan. 27, 2011. About 160 macaques, known as "snow monkeys" inhabit the park.

Right out of the imagination of Dr. Seus. Japanese wild snow monkeys, stare out at the world , with there vibrant red faces and facial hair, in a thermal pool in the mountains outside Nagano. The monkeys were as curious about the photographer as he was about them.
