What's the deal with dead monkeys everywhere?

[Kadjai]

For most wild animals you occasionally find one dead. But in this tropical biome I find a new dead monkey literally daily. There's dozens of them! What gives?

predators, heat wave, etc

If there are predators like snakes, they will kill them but are unable to eat the whole corpse

[Dormeur]

Even wild animals have their own AI, which asseses risk before taking action, and as predators get hungry the monkies, which are one of the most delicate animals in the game, become one of the first targets considered.
