Although known as the Proboscis King. But not only do they have large noses, but they also have other parts of the body - their stomachs are probably the largest proportion of monkeys, accounting for 1/4 of the body weight, which is today's protagonist [Nasalis larvatus]
Proboscis monkey is a special kind of monkey, living in Borneo in Southeast Asia, their long nose may be a kind of sexual attraction, the male monkey's nose is larger than the female, and the juvenile monkey's nose is a bit like Pinocchio, the little female monkey will still maintain pinocchio state in growth, and the male monkey nose will become a large radish nose, which is quite cute.
Back to the beginning, what makes proboscis monkeys really different is their digestive system, they are not simply big bellies, the big bellies are full of various biological digestive enzymes to break down poisonous or indigestible leaves, "proboscis monkeys are also the only primates that can ruminate." Of course, don't look at their big belly, but they are flexible little fat people, jumping trees and climbing branches between the rainforest is a breeze... Because under the tree is the bay crocodile that is looking at the tiger, generally if the monkey group wants to cross the river, the strongest male monkey will take the lead in jumping first to attract the attention of the bay crocodile, and then everyone dares to cross the river one by one, of course, this behavior will cause the whole female monkey group to be greatly favored, the benefits you know ~
Proboscis monkeys have a unique social relationship, they do not have a strong sense of territory, male monkeys and female monkeys each form a group, regularly come to each other in groups... When the baby male monkey reaches the age of one and a half years, he leaves the female monkey group to go to the male monkey group, which is also extremely rare in primates.
