It's funny that the highland troops started going to the spa, and lowland troops started salting their food with ocean salt water. These monkey's got diverging culture based on region. that's fascinating.

[@michaeldufresne9428]

I have often wondered why being all wet when they get out of the hot water isn't an issue. I would think that it would cause them to lose body heat pretty quickly

[@jennifersaar1611]

From what I understand, their coats have several layers. The outermost layer gets wet, but the innermost layer of fur stays basically dry. When they get out, they just shake the water off like a dog.

[@mchevre]

@@jennifersaar1611 Interesting... That inner layer must be hydrophobic then (only way it could stay dry)

[@innerpeace1979]

The Shikoku monkeys are fierce and can be very aggressive, especially because humans fed them on occasion and their numbers grew so much that now they come down the hills and mountains, to ravage homes on the hillsides of Tokushima prefecture. They're hilarious but deceptively so. They're also a sign of healthy forests.

[@nullmojo7483]

Healthy forest?, but why they come down to the town looking for food?,

[@innerpeace1979]

@@nullmojo7483 if you’d watched the video you’d have learned that humans have been consistently encroaching on and destroying natural habitats and territories for a few decades, if not centuries now.

[@elmono6299]

That's why shouldn't feed wild animals in the place as they will get desperate for food from humans. It's exactly why bears become aggressive when people start feeding them.

I live in Tokushima. I've seen them a lot when I'm running and driving around here. They always stick together as groups and look like me lol So you can call Japanese look like monkey🙉

[@栗きんとん-j5s]

Currently in Japan, deforestation is not done to expand farmland. Rather, even farmland that could be used due to population decline is being abandoned. Japan's agriculture is in decline, and wild boars and monkeys are causing damage to abandoned farmlands. They travel through abandoned farmland and descend from the mountains. Depopulated rural areas cannot compete with herds of monkeys. They are steadily expanding their habitat, not only stealing vegetables and fruits from fields, but also encroaching on urban areas. Also, they are protected by law and there is no fear of being killed, and there are no animals that prey on them in Japan. In other words, there has never been a better time for Japanese macaques than now.

[@m_meera]

Those monkeys live on highest peaks any primates did before

[@notrlybae]

They look really relax. I wish we can be this relaxed with how the world is today.

The warmest (coldest rather?) welcome to my home country, Danielle! Yes, hot springs are one of the best known tourism attractions in Japan! "Intelligent" "skilful" sounds cute .... Somewhere else, not far away from human residence, such things become troublesome. They watch you in front of a vending machine in ambush. Just after inserting coins, they steal the goods in front of your eyes! Quick learners indeed. I hope Danielle had a great time there with local delicacies! See yea!

I didn’t know you could swim in hot springs, I heard a story about someone who tried swimming in one in Yellowstone and died because the water is acidic.

[@blacksage2375]

When you can’t swim in them it is generally because they’re boiling hot at the source. So you move the water away and it cools down. This isn’t an option in Yellowstone because you know National Park. There’s other places in the States with cooler springs or where they pump them to proper baths. Note Danielle said this monkey spas were a recent thing we built.
