IUCN lists proboscis monkeys as Endangered.
THANK YOU for your visits, comments and favourites
The proboscis monkey is an arboreal Old World monkey. It is endemic to the southeast Asian island of Borneo and is found mostly in mangrove forests and on the coastal areas of the island. The population of proboscis monkeys has declined by 80% over the past 40 years and there are believed to be around 16,500 left in the wild:
Sarawak: 1,000
Sabah: 6,000
Brunei: 300
Kalimantan: 9,200
The decline is due to habitat destruction for logging, palm oil plantations and traditional Chinese medicine.
I thought about not uploading this image but the dominant male has an erection 24/7 and I have no images with it hidden. I named him 'Eveready'.
