NAGANO, JAPAN: THIS group of 200 monkeys and their babies captured by a passing British photographer must be the luckiest on the planet. Basking all day in the warm waters of the hot springs in the nature sanctuary they call home has left these Japanese macaques with little to do but soak themselves and groom each other all day. Other cute pictures show how the cute baby monkeys make the most of their charmed lives by taking a dip in the water with the adults. Travel photographer Peter Adams (55) from the Cotswolds took the quirky shots while visiting the Jigokudani Park in Nagano, Japan.
