Hurricane transforms aggressive monkeys into surprising allies!
In September 2017, Hurricane Maria didn't just devastate Puerto Rico; it also wreaked havoc on the tiny island of Cayo Santiago, home to hundreds of rhesus macaques. These monkeys have been living there since 1938, brought over from India for research. But the hurricane changed everything.
Join us as we dive into how these monkeys, known for being competitive and aggressive, surprised scientists by becoming more tolerant and cooperative after the storm.
Discover how Hurricane Maria reshaped the social lives of these fascinating primates and what it might mean for other species dealing with climate change.
