Snow Monkeys

This is one of the national nature treasures of Japan created one day 100 years ago when a person dropped some beans in an outdoor soaking pool and a smart monkey went in to get then and liked it so much he stayed and others get the idea from him. Then volcanically heated special monkey pools were created etc.
