It’s so hot in Mexico that howler monkeys are falling dead from the trees. At least 83 of the midsize primates, who are known for their roaring vocal calls, have been found dead in the Gulf coast state of Tabasco.

    Reminds me of a bad joke I saw on that garbage site that’s trying to be like Lemmy

    Why did the monkey fall out of the tree? Because it was dead

    Why did the second monkey fall out of the tree? Because he was stapled to the first

    Why did the third monkey fall out of the tree? Monkey see monkey do

    Why did the refrigerator fall out of the tree? Because it had no arms

    Why did Sally fall off her bike? Because she was hit with 3 monkeys and a refrigerator

    I’m torn between feeling bad for monkeys and being glad the little bastards are dead. Monkeys can be a major pain in the ass.

    Sounds like dehydration is at least part of the problem. I assume they can solve that with howler monkey water stations. Maybe those should just be jungle wildlife water stations.

      Dehydration is just a symptom of the problem, as the article specifically says these monkeys had heat stroke.

      They’re pains in the asses, though, behaving in irritating ways due to the negative effects from our pollution and encroachment. So fuck 'em, right?
