  1. In Mexico and Guatemala, monkeys dont live at elevations where frost is common, these regions have some lush forests, maybe new world monkeys simply cant handle cold climates. Florida despite being subtropical, still gets its extreme temperature swings. It seems they dont like anything colder than 10 ° C

  2. North america and asia both experience severe continentality, add to that the polar vortex phenomenon and you get extreme winters. But europe is the real anomaly here, it gets winters 10 degree warmer that it should thanks to several water moderating air currents, but with the weakening of certain warn sea currents, western europe might start to become colder over time.

  3. @r.guerreiro140 Maybe is the type of forestry, above 1000 meters in central to northern America, forests become coniferous and deciduous, which is one of the barriers between Brazil and the southern cone too, forests in chile are too cold year around for monkeys,plus the forests become temperate with the lack of enough canopy for arboreal monkeys.

  4. They are subspecies of the north Atlantic and Baltic seal i believe, so is not an exclusively freshwater seal but one that can survive in it.

  5. @flopunkt3665 Florida is completely out of the tropics and still has a tropical climate in the south,actually it is warmer than northern africa on average.

  6. Originally from Hidalgo and we get hail in summer, i always associated with summer not cold weather. In Tamaulipas Tampico is not exception, Matamoros and Nuevo Laredo get below freezing temps some winters, but they are not tropical.

  7. Many cities in southwestern America and northern mexico can get very cold winters, but snowfall there usually happens every two years, even if the thermometer does not rise above 30 F for an entire month , the reason is the low of rainfall,which is not enough for snowstorms to happen. The very opposite effect of japan.

  8. Hawaii is at 19° latitude, actually at that level mexico is green, it still green til the tropical belt influence ends at 24°. at 30 ° horse latitude changes wind direction again from west to east, making posible milder mediterranean climate instead of desert, thats why san diego & tijuana milder than la paz. Hawaii has strong oceanic infuences like new zealand or new caledonia, receiving potential moisture from all directions.

  9. @JesusFriedChrist Northern japan, Manchuria and all of siberia are colder than most Canadian cities. Beijing is as cold as Toronto so i think many Asians are used to cold.

  10. This is relative to each human ecotype. Europeans, East Asians, Siberians, Native Americans all have some common cold weather adaptations. Straight-wavy hair for head insulation-oil scalp distribution, more shallow vascular skin along with less melanin, smaller nostrils-airways entrances, wider ribcages, different metabolism, etc.....

  11. Places like the Mediterranean or California are more excepcional on how warm they are for their latitude, Shanghai, Kyushu and Texas get annual snow at that latitude.

  12. Asia has colder winters at same latitude. Hong kong has similar climate to orlando despite being 8 degrees further south. So no tropical species pass above 30N For the same reason, chinese alligator is replaced by giant salamander passing the tropics due to their preference to cold water.

  13. Labrador has many "mild" regions in the south, further north than the midwest but warmer. Still continental tho

  14. Wouldn't be east coast? I think the west coast in chile is basically a geographic mirror of the pacific side of North America, but Argentina's Patagonia is much drier, more like the Caspian sea coast in Eurasia.
