Proboscis Monkey reaching for the most tender leaves
Proboscis Monkey reaching for the most tender leaves
Proboscis Monkey stretched out on a branch of a tree in the Borneo rainforest, reaching for a tender leaf to eat as the branch sags under its weight. Proboscis Monkeys are adapted for both trees and water, they have dextrous feet which are partially webbed feet allowing them to climb trees efficiently and swim across rivers running through the rainforest. Proboscis Monkeys live in troops of 4 to 20, often occupying an entire tree from top to bottom. Proboscis Monkeys get their name from their elongated noses. They inhabit the mangroves, swamps and rainforest of Borneo but are now on the Red List of Threatened Species due to habitat loss in Borneo. Proboscis Monkey (Nasalis larvatus).
