Snow monkeys in the mountain

Those Japanese macaques should have suffered long ago from the violent assaults of the harsh winters from Hokkaido; They should have disappeared from these regions hostile to the small cercopithécidae (or “old world monkeys“). And still, they adapted. Specifically, they learned to warm themselves in the spa waters of always-warm springs created by the intense local geothermal activity.

Vervet monkeys

Those little monkeys are present all around the Moremi National Park (Botswana). We met them even inside our encampment where they were not afraid to come and steal some food (and also kill a francolin hiding a nest in a bush between the tents). Their little shyness is an advantage for the photographer because, with some patience and slow moves, it is quite possible to shoot pictures that pertain more to portraiture than to the usual wild animal safari photography.
