Sarudango

The cold wether goes on and on. Accroding to the news , it is going to snow.
Not only human feel cold, but also monleys !!!


In Japan there are some monkey park called "saruyama" where many monkeys live nearly naturaly. Every year this season the puctures of "sarudango" are taken. "saru" means monkey, and "dango" means a king of Japanese sweet,and rice dumpling.
Monkeys are close together ,because they are so cold! I heard the boss of the group is in the center of the "sarudango" where is the warmest place....

[Japanese only (but youcan see some more pictures of "sarudango")]
