The female wolf, "The babysitter"
She came out of the forest to the left of my hide here, from the east / direction Russia.
The sunlight came at the same time, so the timing was good! She looked around and took her time.

The red-faced macaques, also known as Japanese macaques or snow monkeys, are a major attraction at Ueno Zoo. These primates are known for their distinctive red faces and their ability to adapt to cold climates. Despite their resilience to cold, they struggle with extreme heat, as they do not sweat much. This makes them vulnerable during the hot summer months, where temperatures can exceed 40°C in their current concrete habitat.
To address this, Tokyo's Ueno Zoo is renovating its "monkey mountain," originally built in 1932, to create a forest-like enclosure with more shade to help the macaques cope with the summer heat. The new habitat will feature artificial trees and materials that do not retain heat, aiming to improve the animals' welfare by providing a more natural and comfortable environment. This renovation aligns with global trends in animal welfare, focusing on reducing stress and enhancing the well-being of zoo animals.
Details about the renovation of the "monkey mountain" at Ueno Zoo were sourced from NHK.
