Proboscis Monkey Little Introduction
“The proboscis monkey or long-nosed monkey, 长鼻猴 is a reddish-brown arboreal Old World monkey with an unusually large nose. It is endemic to the southeast Asian island of Borneo." Some of the probosics monkey do have some “red color butt” too
Proboscis Monkey is one of the largest of Asia’s monkeys and an adult male can weigh up to 50lbs / 23kg. They are arboreal, which means they spend most of their time in the trees and only rarely spend time on land when searching for food. The proboscis monkey habitat is the coastal mangroves, forests and swamps of Borneo.
Gather together for foods.
I think that in this world, we might seldom to meet or see this kind of proboscis monkey anymore..
