The Japanese macaque (/məˈkɑːk/; Macaca fuscata), also known as the snow monkey, is a terrestrial Old World monkey species that is native to Japan. They get their name "snow monkey" because some live in areas where snow covers the ground for months each year – no other non-human primate is more northern-living, nor lives in a colder climate. Individuals have brownish-grey fur, pinkish-red faces, and short tails. Two subspecies are known.

Textured snow clings to the fur of this adolescent snow monkey. His liquid eyes are a focal point and capture the attention of the viewer. A statement piece for a monkey lover or aficionado of the Japanese culture.
