Why is it masculine?

Monos is masculine in Spanish. The word comes from Latin "monos," though the etymological connection to Greek "monos" (meaning "alone" or "single") is uncertain and not well-established in standard etymological references. The masculine gender was preserved through the evolution from Latin to Spanish. Like many animal names in Spanish, "mono" follows unpredictable gender patterns based on historical usage rather than consistent morphological rules.
