Will monkeys die of cold?

if the temperature is too low, monkeys will die of cold.

for example, tarsier monkeys live in the tropical rain forests of the Philippines. It is summer all the year round here, and there is no obvious seasonal change. Once the climate is abnormal and drops by about 1 degrees, it will be frozen. Moreover, different species have different freezing resistance. For example, the normal living temperature of Japanese monkeys is 6-35 degrees. The lower the temperature, the higher the individual oxygen consumption. The oxygen uptake of Japanese monkeys at 5℃ is 1.8 times higher than that at 26℃, indicating that they rely on increasing energy consumption to maintain their body temperature. They also tremble at low temperatures to increase heat production in the body and maintain body temperature. The freezing tolerance of monkeys in different regions will be different. Japanese monkeys in Nagano province live in extremely cold habitats, and can tolerate the cold climate of -1 degrees, and will not increase oxygen consumption or tremble below freezing point. In contrast, the macaque population in southern Japan is very afraid of cold, and hundreds of monkeys will hug each other to keep warm in cold weather. It was found that the temperature inside the monkey colony increased by 1-2 degrees by detecting the behavior with a temperature-sensing electric wave instrument. To resist the cold winter.
