Snow monkeys is the affectionate name for the Japanese macaques that live up in the Alps, where snow blankets the ground for several months. Heather unravels how these monkeys co-exist within troops: showing them in different seasons bathing and drinking in the hot pool, grooming, feeding, youngsters playing with snowballs and heart-warming shots of newborns with their mothers.
