The Proboscis Monkey lives on the island of Borneo, characterised by the large, fleshy protrudence that is the nose. This is significantly larger in males, and can exceed 10 cm in length. Like many mammals, the females are extremely social, whilst the males lead a more solitary lifestyle. His diet is largely vegetarian, favouring fruit and leaves, with flowers, seeds and insects occasionally taken. Due to habitat loss and hunting, he is classified as Endangered.
