Asia | No other nonhuman primate lives further north nor in a colder climate than the Japanese macaque. These snow monkeys live in matrilineal societies. Moms will stay with their families for life and a troop of macaques will contain multiple families. Family line means everything in this social structure; high social rank is inherited. . . . . . . . #animalsofinstagram #animalplanet #animaloftheday #wild #wildlife #outdoors #animals #wildanimals #conservation #nature #animallovers #instanature #wildgeography #wildlifeonearth #asia #animalsofasia #japanesmacaque #macaque #monkey
