Similar to Japan's snow monkeys, it was originally thought they go to hot springs to warm up. When observed, one of the primary benefits that was found is stress reduction. The monkeys have enough fur to stay warm in the cold and don't often need to go to the springs for food from tourists either. Not only does it reduce their stress, it helps with reproduction rates and extends their survival rates at the same time that was found.
