The proboscis monkey, or long-nosed monkey, is an Old World monkey found only in Borneo in Southeast Asia. Its bulbous nose, reddish-brown skin, and long tail make this monkey easy to spot.
Proboscis monkeys reside in mangrove forests and along Borneo's coast. They live with the Bornean orangutan and silvery lutung.
Nasalis has one species, the proboscis monkey. This rare primate symbolizes Borneo's vast variety and is vital to its environment. However, habitat degradation and hunting have threatened it.
