Research from Yale University has revealed that Azara's owl monkeys, a small primate species native to South America, have become heavier compared to their counterparts from 25 years ago.
The study suggests that the increase in weight may be associated with rising temperatures, highlighting the broader impact of climate change on wildlife.
This finding underscores the importance of understanding how environmental changes can affect animal physiology and behavior.
