These monkeys were common in the park and were clearly used to people.
Though this is officially a national park, it is really more for swimming etc. than for the animals. It is very crowded with day trippers and is apparently one of the two most visited such areas in the country - but few go to see the animals.
White monkey found at Lower Pierce Reservoir Singapore.There are lots of them. Waited for quite some time for this guy to pose like this. It was taken handheld from inside my car with the window rolled down.

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]

I'm in a bit of a photographic melancholy, or as Gailsman would say "lost my photo mojo". I'm sure it'll return.This is the first set of pictures i've been happy with for a few weeks now.
These were shot at Twycross Zoo, where I set myself the challenge of using only my 105MM prime lens and to get as much eye contact as possible. They were also shot through perspex that had thousands of mucky hand-prints on it, causing a problem for both autofocus and colour balance alike.
The grumpier they look, the cuter they are. This guy looks Scottish to me, haha. Possibly goes by the name 'Jock'.
Photo taken on the pleasant Golden Monkey Tracking experience in Parc de Volcans, Rwanda. I would highly recommend this tour as an add-on the following day after gorilla tracking.
