Snow Monkeys in Texas? | National Geographic


[Music]
these Japanese macaques otherwise known
as snow monkeys are frolicking in the
waters of this primate sanctuary in
Texas so what are Pickford snow monkeys
the only primates other than humans that
can survive extreme cold doing here in
Texas well a small group of these
playful creatures once angered the
merchants of kyoto japan by raiding
their stores they needed to be relocated
or they’d be killed the only place to
would take them was a remote corner of
good old Texas and this sanctuary was
built for them there so now instead of
warming up and hot volcanic Japanese
Springs these snow monkeys and their
offspring use water to cool off and have
climb something macaque seemed to know
how to do wherever they are
next time you get all wrapped up and how
serious the world is think of these
monkeys then go jump in a lake
