The proboscis monkey is a tree dwelling monkey native to Borneo. Their most recognizable feature is their extremely large nose that hangs down in front of their mouth. They are not only good climbers, but they are good swimmers, too (they have been picked up by fishing boats more than a mile from shore).

The proboscis monkey is an endangered species due to habitat loss and hunting.
