The keeper pointed to the back.

These snow monkeys are all soaking in the hot springs, but only one squatted lonely on the rocks on the edge of the hot springs!

His expression was a little lonely, and he looked straight in one direction, his gaze seemed to pass through the hazy mist, through the walls of the zoo, and look at his distant hometown.

The keeper said: "The monkey king is the one who sits on the side and doesn't soak in the hot springs!" Its name is Daikoku, and its personality is relatively withdrawn. ”

Although it is called Dahei, the fur is still gray, but the color is slightly heavier, as if with a brush dipped in ink with a few strokes, the ink stains melt away.

Amamiya looked at Daikoku and felt that this was a monkey with a story!

Do monkeys also feel homesick and miss their loved ones?

Of course, it could also be bothering about something else.

Da Hei was squatting like this, and a small snow monkey saw it in a daze.

Crawled out of the hot springs and ran to the edge of the big black, clinging to its body.

It seems that in such weather, the big black monkey is too cold to stay, and needs a companion to help it warm up.

Da Hei ignored it, still with a cold expression, ignoring the little snow monkey.

The little snow monkey leaned on the big black's sturdy thigh and grabbed the hair from his belly.

Daikoku has a withdrawn personality and doesn't like to get along with other monkeys, preferring to stay alone with a monkey.

Walking on all fours on the rocks at the edge of the hot spring pool, the little monkey turned his head and looked at him in confusion.

Da Hei walked a few steps, squatted down, and jumped!

The sturdy body jumped onto a rock, and with a slight jump, jumped into the distance.

The little snow monkey scratched the hair on his chest, his eyes were innocent and ignorant, and he didn't know why Da Hei didn't like to stay with him, so he ran over!

Several other little snow monkeys soaking in the hot springs couldn't stay at this time when they saw their companions coming ashore.

They ran after him, surrounded Dahei's side, and pestered him to prevent him from leaving.

Da Hei squatted in the snow, claws in his arms, head bowed.

glanced at the naughty little snow monkey who came up, his head suddenly stretched forward, and his mouth opened slightly!

made a threatening appearance and startled the little snow monkey.

One butt sat on the ground, raised his paw for defense, and looked at Daikoku at a loss.

Big Black looked at it for two seconds, his mouth closed, his serious face looking relaxed and soft, and he blinked twice.

Like an old-fashioned elder, pretending to be angry and teasing children!

The little snow monkey came back to his senses and turned to play with his companion.

Da Hei lowered his head again, clutching his claws, not knowing what he was thinking.

However, occasionally he will raise his head and glance at the little snow monkeys playing and frolicking out of the corner of his eye, with a faint kindness in his eyes.

For the little snow monkeys, the most important thing to do every day is to play carefree.

A baby snow monkey makes a snowball with its paws, and a companion behind it takes advantage of its burying head to do things, runs two steps on the snow, and nimbly jumps onto its back!

Holding its back, it jumped up easily before it got up, somersaulting and falling in the air, performing a difficult acrobatic performance.

The little snow monkey held the snowball he had made in front of his chest with one front paw, and ran away as fast as he could, his companion chasing after him.

They play with snowballs, not smashing them at each other like humans, but similar to rugby balls, protecting snowballs from other monkeys and chasing their companions with snowballs.

I don't know how these snow monkeys invented this way of playing.

The process of playing is also a rehearsal of future competition!

The little snow monkey who ran out of the hot spring at the beginning made a snowball, hugged it with two paws, stood up and walked, and came to Daikoku, wanting Daikoku to play with him, but Daikoku refused.

Da Hei squatted on the ground, scooped up a handful of snow, stuffed it into his mouth and tasted it, and the little snow monkey played with the snowdrift on the side.

Looking at such a harmonious scene, Apricot couldn't help but sigh: "What love! ”

Amamiya said in his heart: "Da Hei looks very ruthless, but in fact, his heart is still very gentle!" ”

Apricot nodded, "Although it doesn't want to play with the little monkey, it doesn't drive the little monkey away." ”

A tourist asked curiously, "I remember that macaques don't have classes?" The beautiful female monkey Monkey King chooses first, and the delicious ones are also eaten by the Monkey King first, and other monkeys should show respect to the Monkey King, why can these snow monkeys soak in the hot springs together, and the little monkeys are not very regular. ”

The keeper explained, "That's right, the same rules are for the snow monkeys!"

This hot spring pool is well located for these snow monkeys to soak together.

If there are too many monkeys, the Monkey King and other sub-leaders, high-ranking females and cubs can be given priority to soak. If other monkeys want to come down and soak in the bubble, they will be attacked and driven away.

But the snow monkeys are more united! In the face of the harsh winter, only unity can better survive.

The leader will also coordinate to squeeze everyone and give up their positions so that no bigger conflict erupts.

When the snow monkeys have a conflict, they will groom their companions and get back together. Grooming is the glue that binds monkeys together, and by grooming, hygiene, free food, and peace of mind are good for both parties. ”

"The monkeys are also a small society! The relationship is so complicated. ”

"They're kind of fun socializing."

Seeing that the tourists were fascinated, the keeper smiled and explained: "We humans can warm ourselves by adding clothes and heaters, snow monkeys can soak in hot springs to keep warm, and other animals have different ways to cope with the cold!"

The most common way to do this is to get a cave to warm up!

Lemmings and other critters will dig out small snow pits to create an isolated environment for themselves, like an Eskimo igloo. They also dig tunnels so that they can survive comfortably even when the wind is strong and the weather is cold.

Animals such as foxes and wolves wear thick fur to protect them from the cold in winter. When the weather is warmer, it will be replaced with a shorter hair.

Emperor penguins living in Antarctica, they often stand on cold ice and snow, and their special circulatory system can regulate blood flow according to the temperature of their feet, so that their feet can get enough blood, and the temperature is several degrees higher than the freezing point, so they will not be frozen because of contact with the ice.

Amphibians and reptiles, such as tortoises, snakes, and lizards, hibernate in the winter and slow down their metabolism until warmer days come back to life.

Some migratory birds, when winter comes, make long migrations to warmer places to spend the winter! Recently, some yellow-breasted buntings have come to our zoo for the winter, and they can occasionally be seen in the rice fields in the local exhibition area.

There are also animals that may rely on the warmth created by humans to survive the winter. For example, some stray cats will burrow under the engine of a car and warm their bodies by the heat of the engine. ”
