This monkey put on a show was very entertaining.
White Snakes of Iwakuni
Albino snakes sometimes occur in nature but generally the trait is not passed on to the offspring. Iwakuni's white snakes are unique in the world as the coloring is stable and has existed from some time. The harmless snakes reach about 180 cm long and 15 cm thick. The snakes have been given the status of a natural monument
Iwakuni-jo was built by Kikkawa Hiroie in 1608. Just a few years later in 1615 the castle was torn down to comply with the Tokugawa law of "one castle per province." The current reconstruction was placed a little bit closer to the front edge of the mountain so it could be more easily seen from below and to give visitors a better view of the valley from the castle.
