Heat-related howler monkeys deaths in Mexico have been recorded in a total of four states, environmental authorities said.
Howler monkeys sit in a cage at a veterinarian clinic after they were rescued amid extremely high temperatures in Tecolutilla, Tabasco state, Mexico, Tuesday, May 21, 2024. Dozens of howler monkeys were found dead in the Gulf coast state while others were rescued by residents who rushed them to a local veterinarian. Mexico's Environment Department said late Tuesday that monkey deaths have now been reported in Chiapas and three states on the Gulf of Mexico: Tabasco, Campeche and Veracruz.
A relatively small number of monkeys have been rescued alive, treated and released back into the wild. Experts have warned residents of the four southern states not to try to adopt or house the monkeys, since they are wild animals and are vulnerable to diseases carried by cats and dogs. For much of this month, a large part of the country has seen high temperatures of 45 degrees Celsius .
