Snow Monkeys

This is a short clip of the video I took at Jigokudani of their famous "Snow Monkeys". The monkeys discovered an open air hot spring bath which had been built by the owners of the Jigokudani onsen and figured out that it was warmer in the water when it was snowing than sitting in the snow. In the clip the monkeys can be seen eating rice which has been scattered by the operators of the park. The monkeys should not be fed other food because it's likely to make them sick.
