The monkeys at Yudanaka Onsen, the outside hot pools in Nagano Prefecture

One can never have too many monkeys!

Animals どうぶつ

Here are pictures and names for animals around us. Some of them we keep as pets, others we fear when we see them in our parks or at the beach.

What may surprise some people is that some animals that we see in the zoo, are actually found in the fields in Japan. Of course, some animals are never seen in Japanese cities or towns, but they are still alive in the mountains in Japan and many people would be interested in them. 

Other animals we have in Australia or New Zealand, but are very rare in Japan, or maybe only found in some zoos.

Enjoy!
