Follow a troop of snow monkeys in Japan to see how they prepare to face the world.

In the frigid valleys of Japan’s Shiga Highlands, a troop of snow monkeys functions in a complex society of rank and privilege where each knows his and her place. Their leader is still new to the job and something of a solitary grouch. One innocent little monkey, unaware of his own low status, reaches out to this lonely leader and they form a rare and remarkable bond that alters both their lives. NATURE: Snow Monkeys airs this spring on WXXI-TV.
