A Long-Nosed Monkey
>> Nov 25, 2012
We call this kind of monkey Bekantan;
also known as proboscis monkey. I captured a female bekantan alone in her cage
(Ragunan Zoo, Jakarta, Indonesia). I couldn’t make a clear shot as I took a picture
through a thick blurry glass.
The male bekantan’s nose
can reach 7 inches in length. The female ones also have big noses –compared to
other kind of monkey- but not as large as the males. One of the biggest
populations can be found in the Danau Sentarum National Park, West Kalimantan
Province, Indonesia. Amazing species that should be protected from being
extinction! (Source:Wikipedia).
