Planet of the Primates

Take a close look at our closest relatives and their surprising lives. The snub-nosed monkey is comfortable at 4,000 metres above sea level; the Japanese macaque endures winter in a natural jacuzzi and the Woolly spider monkey reaches hidden water sources by turning leaves into sponges. Sometimes we even celebrate their lives! Every year in Thailand, local people lay out an all-you-can-eat-buffet for the thousands of long-tailed macaques that roam the streets of Lopburi village.
