An open-air bath has been set up for the Japanese macaques at the Fukuoka Municipal Zoo. The bath will help keep the forty-nine macaques bred at the premises to stay warm during the Winter months. The public will be able to see them bathing every Saturday from around 13:00 until the end of February. The enjoyment on the macaques’ faces as they soak in the warm water will be clear for all to see!
