The Japanese macaque is a monkey native to Japan, often called the snow monkey because some groups live where snow lies for months each year. No other non-human primate lives farther north or in a colder climate. Its thick brownish-grey fur insulates it through winters, and it has a pinkish-red face and a short tail. Two subspecies are recognised. Some troops have learned to bathe in hot springs to stay warm.

Israeli reports also say the cabinet directed the military to prepare for a possible new attack on Iran.

Angkor, near Siem Reap in northern Cambodia, was the capital of the Khmer Empire, which ruled much of mainland Southeast Asia between roughly the 9th and 15th centuries. At its height the city spread across about 3,000 square kilometres, making it the largest pre-industrial city on Earth by area. Its growth depended on water: huge reservoirs called barays, along with canals and embankments, stored monsoon rain and carried it to rice fields. That system let farmers harvest more than once a year and fed a very large population through the dry season. The temple complex of Angkor Wat, built in the early 12th century, is the best-known monument and still stands at the heart of the park.
