Haha, that's interesting. I'm not sure what his nose reminds me of... maybe a kidney or something. All I know is I wanna squeeze it because it feels like it would make a funny sound... =D Who's with me?
i have worked with proboscis monkeys, this is a terrible picture!!! they are very adorable and loving, they love swimming, horse play, hugs, and kisses. i would give my life to save these creatures, dont be cruel!!!!!

Spluch posted on this photo and dug up some interesting factoids about the proboscis monkey. For instance: both sexes have prominent noses, with the male's being larger. Females seek out males with larger schnozes, and the sentiment is returned. Small nosed she-monkeys need not climb this boy's tree.
What evolutionary advantage does the large nose offer these primates? I have no idea. Then again, what does a desire to eat dirt offer my toddler? Who knows. There is just no accounting for taste.
Thanks for the photo, Spluch. [Image]

I imagine that he would make a funny sound if you squeezed his nose. So would you, after he bit off some of your digits.

I wonder if the other monkeys would make fun of the Proboscis monkeys.
I think they look like sweet creatures.

Looking at the comments on this thread, I'd say the other monkeys are making fun of the Proboscis monkey...
