Beauty Treatment
A Japanese macaque, also known as a snow monkey, performs a grooming routine on another in a natural hot spring in Jigokudani, Japan. Macaques groom each other to rid the fur of bugs and dead skin, and to promote social bonding. Doing so in the hot spring has the added benefit of keeping them warm in winter.
