The Story Behind Japan’s Bathing Monkeys | ScienceTake

Lucky monkeys are too Zen to think while soaking. Serene indifference is their dogma.

Could be, they’re thinking, they’re grateful that they’re not out of the water, freezing their behinds off.

These macaques are soooo Japanese that they love onsen

Next episode: monkeypox incubation.

MONKEEEEEEE

This aged poorly given recent attacks in Japan

Monkey sanctuary

Now i know how family guy got this seen

I'm glad the scientific study didn't mess with the actual animals... That's so Japanese. Respect of nature and surroundings. So beautiful. So respectful and dignified. What a wonderful thing to see!

Hit Monkey!

they made hot springs for the monkeys cuz they monkeys keep chilling in their hot springs

Return to monke

I think they enjoy staying and soaking in hot springs. Scientists always say that monkeys are more brilliant than other animals. I'm with them. they look so relaxed and overjoyed . After I watch the video I realized that I need to go to a hot spring center:) Warm greetings from Turkey:)

The scientists who have spent their whole lives dedicated to science...have proved that monkeys are more relaxed when bathing in hot springs......LOL! New York Times....what a joke!

“I wonder what they think about while they soak?” 🙄🤔🤨😁

I would like a new study on hot tub effects on pregnancy via these monkeys vs the current recommendations based on a 50 year old study on guinea pigs.

Big difference between the US and japan. The US would have killed or driven away all the monkeys, japan gave them their own hot spring

They're even washing their food now before eating it.

soo the science is that yes cold makes stress so yes they like hot springs hur dur im smart cuz i said a hormone name

japan is good and i need rice and tee

S N O W M O N K E

They don't think about anything while they soak. They're monkeys. I take that back. They probably think about eating, since that's all they really care about

They probably think about equal rights and equal access to humans' hot springs since they are currently segregated on the basis of their specie. I would definitely help them gain access to integrated hot springs.

BAPE.

So innocent..

They are thinking how to take over the world

Monke bath

What did he talk about?

I never thought of it as monkey culture! How cute!

The chillest monkeys I've ever seen.

Wow that phrase monkey see monkey do is real.

I thought they're doing this since thousands of years...

They vibin

Nature is awesome

Thinking of osim massage chair.

I'm glad Japan dont eat monkey's

Why did they collect faeces & not blood or saliva?

For some reason, I don't think americans would build parks for them. Maybe because they won't pay us.
Just hunt them to extinction. 🇺🇸🔥

The hot water always on the males testicles doesn't effect their sperm count & reproduction like in humans?

I am one xoxo

Do they recruit human cuz I want to join

Spooky relaxing and calming

This video shows how smart these animals can be, copying others to survive
