Proboscis Monkey

Proboscis Monkeys are very bizarre because of their noses. On http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/proboscis-monkey/ they talk about the monkey and how its nose can be used to attract mates and also the life style of the monkey.

The Proboscis monkey is extremely interesting looking with its facial characteristic. Their noses look as though they are very large for its body. They also use their noses to try and attract mates, which is why only the male monkeys grow the huge noses. Habitats of these monkeys include jungle regions, particularly in South or East Asia. They usually are found near the water such as swamps, coasts, and other moist regions. Like most monkeys the proboscis travels in large groups. Although they live by the water they tend to travel throughout the day and then go back to the water area to sleep. These monkeys are bizarre because they can swim, which is why they live by the water. Proboscis monkeys eat mostly plant life but occasionally eat insects. Stomachs of these monkeys have a special bacteria that helps them virtually eat any type of plant life. For the most part these monkeys are only threatened by native people and also the occasional jaguar. To conclude these monkeys are very strange and the nose makes them very bizarre.
