 Proboscis Monkey

The Proboscis Monkey is an odd-looking creature. It has a very large, protruding nose, long shaggy fur, and pot-bellied body. Its arms and legs are unusually long, too. This primate can be found in the mangrove forests of Borneo and parts of Sumatra. Its diet mostly consists of leaves, unripe fruits, and seeds. This monkey is an agile climber, often found in the tree-tops looking for food. It spends most of its time on the trees, rarely descending to the ground. Its large nose is used for producing loud honks during mating season.
