Such a big cute furry moth, you just want to reach out and stroke it!

I encountered a very endearing family of wild vervet monkeys who scampered around the gardens of Sun City, opening and eating sugar granules directly out of sachets from sugar bowls on the local cafe tables.

Taken at the Jigokudani Monkey Park, Nagano Prefecture.
it is difficult not to attribute human emotions to photos of snow monkeys. Their behaviour and social skills were often human like - like this embrace between mum and baby.
I spent the day walking around the park with my 70-200mm and 1.4 x extender and didn't feel the need to use a longer telephoto lens as the monkeys are not shy and would often be only a few metres away. Which was probably a good thing. With the heavy snow, the track up to see the monkeys was still being cleared as we were walking up in the morning. I'd hate to think how my back would react if I was carrying 20 kilos of gear uphill.
Yay! -- made it on to the EXPLORE page... :)
