The National Geographic has published a brief summary of a research article about snow monkeys and the reason behind their dips in hot springs, at https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2018/04/japanese-snow-monkey-macaques-bath-stress-spd/.

    Thanks Marie
    I love the monkey destresser! We tread on the same Holy Ground. You are a professor at LMU and I am a Eucharistic minister at Sacred Heart Chapel there. I am also the lead for Disaster spiritual care for Los Angeles region. I loved finding your blog as I am an Evernote fan.
    Blessings
    Carol
