The 80-mile All-American Canal not only irrigates
California’s Imperial Valley, it’s also a perfect swim

Snow monkeys are famous for their intelligence and social behavior. They use tools, wash their food, and have a complex system of communication. They are also very aware of status within their society, paying close attention to age, strength, and family relationships among members. Snow monkeys play a prominent role in Japanese culture; they are considered to be messengers of the Shinto gods and symbols of success and good fortune.
