"Extreme Heat in Mexico Causes Monkeys to Fall from Trees"

In southern Mexico, extreme heat has caused the deaths of at least 138 brown howler monkeys, with temperatures exceeding 43 degrees Celsius. The monkeys, already listed as "vulnerable," are suffering from dehydration and heat stroke, leading to convulsions and fainting. Conservationists and local communities are working to provide water and food, while investigating other potential causes such as malnutrition and toxic agrochemicals. The crisis highlights the need for better habitat conservation and climate adaptation strategies.
