Description
Description
This program examines social organization among Japanese macaques, or "snow monkeys." Filmed over a period of nine years in an area less than 100 miles from Tokyo, it follows one female macaque, named Mozu by the researchers. Born with deformed limbs, she was able to thrive and even to reproduce in the wild thanks to the aid of the troop and her own instinctive skills. The program also examines the social development of young monkeys, the social ranking and challenges for breeding rights by the males, and the rearing of the young by the females.
