Photograph by Masanobu Oka , National Geographic Your Shot
A snow monkey grooms a youngster while soaking in a hot spring at the Jigokudani Monkey Park in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. When I visited, about 30 monkeys were in the hot spring, writes Your Shot member Masanobu Oka . I realized that the mother was taking care of her kid just like a human. I watched them for a while before capturing the baby as it opened its eyes.
