Kojima is a small uninhabited island with a circumference of about 4 kilometers.

Only on this one special day each year are sweet potatoes offered-allowing observers to watch the monkeys’ behavior up close.

0:03:25.395,0:03:40.390
Sensing that the sweet potatoes are noticeably different from their usual barley feed, the monkeys grow excited.

0:03:40.390,0:03:55.453
The baby monkeys born this year have never seen a sweet potato before?they watch the scene with wide-eyed wonder, unsure of what’s unfolding.

0:03:55.453,0:04:05.608
The baby monkey being carried on its mother’s back is likely around five to six months old.

Voiceover: Sweet potatoes are given only once a year.

0:04:24.258,0:04:38.773
Voiceover: That’s why fewer monkeys wash their sweet potatoes now.

0:04:38.773,0:04:53.876
Voiceover: It’s possible they won’t wash the sweet potatoes at all-but let’s give it a try.

The sweet potatoes are packed in a blue bag.

Sweet potato-washing behavior in monkeys was first observed in 1953.

0:05:44.338,0:05:59.317
It all began with a single young female?but soon, other monkeys started imitating her.

0:05:59.317,0:06:14.373
Young monkeys also mimic their mothers?learning to wash sweet potatoes by watching them closely.

0:06:14.373,0:06:29.369
In other words, the sweet potato-washing behavior that spread through the troop was passed down across generations.

0:06:29.369,0:06:44.328
This discovery marked the moment we realized that non-human primates, too, possess “culture.”

0:06:44.828,0:07:00.042
To wash off dirt and grit-that’s one reason monkeys wash their sweet potatoes.

0:07:00.042,0:07:15.475
Some researchers suggest the monkeys may be adding a salty twist by washing their sweet potatoes in seawater-enjoying a kind of flavor change.

0:07:15.475,0:07:30.352
However, since it’s become difficult for us to obtain sweet potatoes covered in dirt, the monkeys no longer need to wash them.

0:07:36.684,0:07:49.567
The monkey positioned at the center of the sweet potatoes is the troop’s leader.

0:07:49.567,0:08:01.550
Everyone’s too intimidated to grab a sweet potato-it’s not easy with the leader standing guard.

The monkeys on this island do sometimes swim in the sea?but generally, they prefer to stay dry.

0:09:02.461,0:09:17.490
The monkeys are given raw sweet potatoes.

0:09:17.490,0:09:32.829
Sweet potatoes can’t be found in the wild mountains-they’re a once-a-year delicacy for the monkeys.

0:09:32.829,0:09:47.732
Monkeys’ sense of taste is fundamentally similar to that of humans
