Proboscis monkey

The proboscis monkey is a tree-dwelling primate with a comically large nose and reddish-brown fur. It lives only on the island of Borneo, where it spends most of its time in coastal mangroves. Its distinctive drooping nose is so big that it sometimes dangles over the monkey's mouth.

• Males have much larger noses than females, sometimes over 4 inches long.
• They use their long tails for balance when leaping through trees.
• These monkeys live in groups near rivers and coastal swamps.
