The Long & Winding Road

Good day with the monkeys

Proboscis monkeys are strange creatures. The big nose is to attract females. The males appear to be in a constant state of "excitement" but only the dominant male gets to mate. The females signal their readiness to mate by blowing kisses. Bit like saying "come and get it big boy"!
What a shame we have all but wiped out their habitat by clearing the jungle and mangrove swamps for palm oil plantation. Worth thinking about next time you apply face cream etc.
