Here's why:
* Evolution: Monkeys evolved in tropical regions with abundant food and suitable temperatures.
* Physical Adaptations: Many monkeys have adaptations for warm weather, such as:
* Fur: Thin fur or no fur at all
* Sweat glands: For cooling down
* Diets: Primarily fruits and leaves, which are readily available in warm climates.
* Habitat: Most monkey species live in rainforests, savannas, and other tropical or subtropical environments.
While there are a few exceptions, such as the Japanese macaque which lives in colder regions, the vast majority of monkey species thrive in warm climates.
