Bolivian Squirrel Monkey’s have light brown/yellow fur with a white face and a dark black patch on the crown of its head. Its tail is longer than its head and body, reaching approximately 38cm in length. Their small size however makes them a popular target for predators. They can live up to 30 years old in captivity.
FUN FACT: A group of Bolivian Squirrel Monkeys can be called a troop, barrel, tribe or cartload.

Another shot. This monkey has a bit of the appearance of a depressed old man. I understand that it is this species that has served as the organ grinder at street fairs.
Don't let that sweet and innocent face fool you! Just a moment before he was throwing pieces of coconut at innocent passerbyers

Jigokudani Monkey Park (地獄谷野猿公苑 Jigokudani Yaen Kōen) is in Yamanouchi, Shimotakai District, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. It is part of the Joshinetsu Kogen National Park (locally known as Shigakogen), and is located in the valley of the Yokoyu-River, in the northern part of the prefecture. The name Jigokudani, meaning "Hell's Valley", is due to the steam and boiling water that bubbles out of small crevices in the frozen ground, surrounded by steep cliffs and formidably cold and hostile forests.
The heavy snowfalls (snow covers the ground for 4 months a year), an elevation of 850 meters, and being only accessible via a narrow two kilometer footpath through the forest, keep it uncrowded despite being relatively well-known.
It is famous for its large population of wild Japanese Macaques (Macaca fuscata), more commonly referred to as Snow Monkeys, that go to the valley during the winter, foraging elsewhere in the national park during the warmer months. Starting in 1963, the monkeys descend from the steep cliffs and forest to sit in the warm waters of the onsen (hotsprings), and return to the security of the forests in the evenings. [Wikipedia]
These monkeys are all over Penang and will steal anything they can get hold of and they can be grumpy so you need to watch out
