The Social Hierarchy of Snow Monkeys

In this video from the PBS series NATURE, a group of snow monkeys enjoys the hot springs of Hell Valley in Japan. The only member of the troop who does not bathe in the hot spring is Kuro-San, the troop leader. He stays mostly to himself, perhaps overburdened with the stress of being in charge.
