In this state, they save energy during cold weather while they have limited access to food sources.
Japanese macaques can survive in cold temperatures of below −15°C (5°F), and are among very few primates that can do so.. Chionophiles are any organisms (animals, plants, fungi, etc.) that can thrive in cold winter conditions (the word is derived from the Greek word chion meaning "snow", and -phile meaning "lover").
