Japanese Macaque

Description

I have a slight fascination with Japanese Macaques, better known as the hot springs lounging snow monkeys. 

This frame is 3.5" X 2.5" so I thought it would be funny to barely fit him into the matte. The background is a piece of stained birch veneer.

Ha, this guy is great! Really nice job with the flesh colours. They look spot on.
Japanese Macaques are hilarious creatures. There was an excellent series on the BBC recently called Monkey Planet about primate behaviour and they looked at Japanese Macaques. I never knew social hierarchy played such a large role within the hot springs and not every monkey has the opportunity to lounge in them. I always assumed they just piled in there merrily together. They always appear so content it was strange to to see them attacking each other forcing some out of the pool into the cold. But yeah, awesome show.
