Yakushima macaque

In the past in Yakushima, when food supplies for Macaques became short, the monkeys would encroach on human habitation and damage crops; 400-500 Yakushima Macaques were caught and exterminated every year due to the damage done to the Ponkan and Tankan orange crops for which Yakushima is especially noted.
