Hello Steemians, I'd like to share my entry to Steemit Photo Challenge organized by @jamtaylor. The theme is animal portrait.  

This photo was taken at the Snow Monkey Park, Nagano, Japan. This is probably the only place in the world where you find tribe of monkeys enjoying hot spring in the mountain, only in Japan. In a monkey tribe, there is always a leader, the strongest and largest of all male monkeys, the alpha male and you're looking at him. His name is Togura. Yes, the park rangers name their monkey leaders and keep portrait of them in the visitor center, kind of like how we human have photos of our president at important places. 

今天我想要跟大家分享Steemit Photo Challenge的照片,一張動物肖像,這張照片是在日本長野地獄谷雪猴公園拍的。這裡大概是世界上唯一一個由猴子統治的溫泉公園吧,應該只有在日本會看到這樣的奇景。通常在猴子的部落裡,俗稱阿爾法男性(alpha male,有更好的翻譯嗎?),正是這張照片的主角,他的名字叫做Togura。公園的管理員會幫每一任老大取名,還會幫他們拍肖像照,一一整齊地掛在公園的遊客中心,排得有點像我們人類歷任總統照一樣。

This is what's going on behind the photo. Sorry to destroy the romance. You don't get to enjoy the hot spring with monkeys. These monkeys must feel like rock star and get annoyed by us human. 

其實照片的背後是一堆人圍著猴子的溫泉,一般遊客是沒辦法和猴子一起泡溫泉的。這些猴子應該覺得自己是大明星吧,不知道是不是對我們人類紛絲感到不堪其擾。
