It’s a bad summer to be a Mexican monkey. Howler monkeys are dropping dead from trees in Mexico. The current heatwave has killed at least 85 monkeys, and authorities say it’s because of dehydration. At least 5 have been hospitalized. Temperatures are as high as 113 degrees. Volunteers are placing buckets of fruit out to try to stop more monkey deaths because they get most of their water from eating. And this is not monkey business because at least 26 people have also died.
