With its pendulous nose and pot-belly, the proboscis monkey is Borneo’s unmistakable river dweller. Troops nap in mangroves by day, then leap into streams at dusk, feeding on tender leaves and unripe fruit. Rapid swamp-forest loss now edges this odd primate toward extinction.

Habitat: The Proboscis Monkey can be found in Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia
