Ben Torode (Ben Torode) - photographer originally from Australia. Since 1999 lives and works in Tokyo, Japan. Translator by profession. A hobby - photography since 2009. He travels to Japan to shoot charming creatures. At this time under his gaze lens hit Japanese macaques.





Trying to keep warm from the cold, they descend from the steep cliffs and forests to warm sources Dzigokudani (Jigokudani) Park Nagano. The photographer was able to watch the dozens of monkeys, who daily come to bask for hours cleaning out each other's hair for ticks and fleas, with absolutely no regard for the people. Ben can fully contemplate the interaction and communication between apes. But excessive attention to them can be interpreted as a sign of aggression.







Torode said that his behavior macaques is very similar to humans: Monkeys come to the hot springs in the morning and throughout the day are either in water or in close proximity to it. At dusk primates go to the forest. I have long been watching them, and these monkeys are incredibly funny animals! They have so much in common with us. For example, maternal instinct. To the hot springs mother came with her cubs. Kid periodically getting out of the water and curiously explore the area. All this time the mother does not lose sight of him, and, if necessary, always ran to look for her child!
