長野県の地獄谷野猿公苑で撮影しました。特に温度が下がった雪降りの日、猿たちは温泉の周りにいるのですが温度が低いため体毛が凍り付いています。その中の抱き合って寒さに耐える母子猿に魅入られ撮影しました。母親の懐が生まれて１年に満たない子猿の懐が命を繋いでいます。 This photo was taken at Jigokudani Monkey Park in Nagano Prefecture. Especially on snowy days when the temperature drops,The monkeys are around the hot springs , but the temperatureis so low that their fur is frozen.I was fascinated by the mother and child monkeys embracing each other and enduring the cold, so I took a photo. The mother is keeping the baby alive, even though it's less than a year old.
