The Japanese macaque observes like a quadruped. Nothing escapes those black beady eyes on its reddish face. With its thick fur, this monkey is well-equipped to withstand cold weather. Sometimes it has to endure the icy wind in the snow. Then it prefers to snuggle up to a friend to warm itself. But perhaps a cozy jacket pocket would also help? The Japanese macaque looks around kindly. It almost seems as if he's smiling. He turns his bushy head with its small, reddish face. "Do you have something tasty for me?" Who could resist that! Like all monkeys, this macaque loves fresh fruit. Especially sweet snacks, such as bananas, go down well. The Japanese macaque is curious and social and loves to make new friends. After an initial introduction, he enjoys being scratched through the thick fur on his back.
