Animals In Snow -- Snow Monkeys, Polar Bear Cub, Red Panda & More (PHOTOS)

From The Daily Green:

These cute chilly creatures give us a new appreciation for the winter weather. Luckily some of these animals have their own personal fur coat to keep them warm. From a furry red panda to snow monkeys in Japan's hot springs, cute animals just get cuter when they're in the snow.

I'm concerned about some of those animals being very out of their element.

Here are our local cooperative wildlife subjects: http://ozarkhomesteader.wordpress.com/2010/02/06/twins-in-the-snow-deer-neighbors/

Amazing. My ex-wife is a Hot-Tubbing Snow Monkey
She said she'd find a better looking guy and she was right.

Penguins can be cute all right. But those were kinda ugly. Where's the baby Arctic Fox?

"Arctic Fox, get out of there! It's a setup!" (Sorry, had to give a shout out to Mike Birbiglia.)

The other day along the Mississippi River near the U of Minn campus in Minneapolis I saw a large owl sitting high in a tree with a bunch of crows circling and harassing the owl, protecting their turf I guess. I was shocked by how large that owl was, it was about two feet tall and didn't look intimidated by the much smaller crows. That was one tough owl

You've heard the expression: "Tough as a boiled owl?"

Sounds like a Great Horned Owl not that I'm an expert. I saw one when I was in college on a regional campus that was surrounded by a nature preserve here in Ohio.What was fortuitous for me is that a prof who studies birds and was doing research on them happened to be there at the same time and he told me what it was. It was huge.I think it was preparing to visit a clutch of bunnies beneath his perch.

Since he is in Germany, he should be called ein Behr, not a bear.

Makes me want to take a trip to the hot springs this weekend and sit and watch the snow melt before it hits the water.

The monkeys look like a couple on the brink of divorce, but they thought a nice holiday might try to mend things...but as you can see they are clearly annoyed with each other.

Can anyone look at those Japanese macaque monkeys without thinking of that idiotic commercial for Dos Equis beer?

I'm not sure if it's "Koyaanisqatsi" that I saw the snow monkey, but it was footage of one monkey with his head just above the water much like these two...he looked like a Buddhist monk...very zen.

One thing I always wondered about is what do the snow monkeys do when it's time to get out? Do they have heated towels or bathrobes they slip into? 'Cause it's still pretty cold out ...
