Mother's Love : Japanese Macaque and Infant

Photograph by Tim Laman

Japanese macaques can convey ideas to one another and pass skills down, generation to generation. The macaques, also called snow monkeys, have humanlike faces that can show a lot of emotion. They live in northern Japan, where it gets very cold, so they grow heavy fur coats in the winter to keep them warm.
Mother's Love, the first in a new, affordable line of gift books from National Geographic, is a great way to remind ourselves of the universal power of a mother's love.
