Did you know baby proboscis monkeys are born with a blueish face that darkens to gray around 3 months? By 8.5 months, their faces are cream colored.
This photo was taken in Kinabatangan, Sabah, Malaysia.

Happy #StampSaturday! This is a stamp from Indonesia. It was released in 1998 for National Love Flora & Fauna Day.
Besides the proboscis monkey, this series also featured the Asian elephant and the spectral tarsier.

This proboscis monkey is sounding an alarm call in a tree in the Kinabatangan River, Borneo. Proboscis monkeys use a range of sounds to communicate information including honks and roars.

Check out this guy in Sabah, Malaysia.

The proboscis monkey is dimorphic, seen clearly in their noses. The males have larger droopy noses which are supported by special nasal cartilages in their skull.

This is another photo from Danau Girang Field Centre which supports Asian biodiversity conservation and research. Proboscis monkeys are an endangered species, and conservation efforts are greatly important.

Happy #stampsaturday! Did you know there are multiple stamps featuring the proboscis monkey?

This week we look at the 1939 stamp from the former British Protectorate State of North Borneo featuring a male proboscis monkey.

A young proboscis monkey looks shocked @ the Danau Girang Field Center in Malaysia.
Babies typically rely on adults until about the age of 3. After 3, they begin to venture out on their own!

Happy #Oscars day! In a year filled with monkey movies, only one featured a proboscis monkey!

A proboscis monkey was the guitarist in the Ozdust Ballroom band in #Wicked!

A distinctive feature of the proboscis monkey is their large nose. While only males have the drooping nose, female proboscis monkeys have a distinctive snout-like nose.

Did you know that the proboscis monkey’s diet mainly consists of leaves, seeds, and unsweetened fruit?

No, it’s not a muppet. This primate, found in the mangrove forests of Borneo, is the proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus)! Males of this species sport a distinctive proboscis, which acts like a resonating chamber to amplify their vocalizations!
