Japanese snow monkeys [3]

Monkeys return to the deep of the mountains night.
And they return to this hot spring again about at 9.00. in the next morning.

This hot spring is located in the valley of a very steep mountain.
In order to come to this hot spring from a mountain, an angle must get down from the steep incline of 60 degrees or more.
Since baby monkeys cannot go down the slope of a snow-covered mountain, they hang on to a mother's back wholly, and get down together.

Probably, this baby monkey have been less than one year since born.
Seems to be afraid of a few.

猿たちは夜は山奥で寝て、毎朝温泉地まで山から下りてきます。
その山はとても急斜面で、子猿たちはその雪面を下りることができません。
母猿の背中にしがみついて一緒に下りてきます。

母子の絆の強さに感動します。。。
