屋久島はヤク猿の出産シーズンに入っています。この日は一つの群れで2匹の赤ちゃんを確認できました(写真の赤ちゃんは生後一週間以内)。うち一匹はその日に生まれたようで、まだ母親にしがみつくことができず、移動するときは母親が片手で抱えながら歩いていました。西部地区は昨年の夏、台風18号、19号の暴風で潮風を受け、秋の果実(シイの実、ドングリ)に影響があったと思われます。猿は豊作(木の実)子沢山と言われており、今年は生まれてくる子供は少ないと予想されます。=16日、西部
Yakushima enters in the delivery season of the yaku monkey. I was able to confirm two babies in one group on that day. When I moved, mother held it with one hand and walked without another one of them having seemed to be born as for the baby of the photograph on the day for less than one week after birth, and still clinging to mother. The Western Province catches the sea breeze by typhoon 18, a storm of 19 in last summer, and it is thought that there were few nuts in autumn. It is said that a lot of children are born as for the monkey when a nut is a good harvest. Thus, it is thought that there are few born populations this year <pic・2015-04-16>
