No, it’s not a muppet. This unforgettable primate, found in the mangrove forests of Borneo, is the proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus)! Also known as the long-nosed monkey, males of this species sport a distinctive drooping proboscis, which acts like a resonating chamber to amplify their vocalizations. Scientists think it’s a sexually selected trait—meaning that females prefer louder (and bigger-nosed) mates.

I recently illustrated a memo game "Endangered Animal Babies" for Treecer. This memo game contains 72 unique illustrations and 36 endangered animal species. Each pair consists of the parent and the baby animal and all the illustrations were done in watercolor.

I'm really grateful for this opportunity and very happy with the outcome of the game! The game is sold by WWF Finland and Treecer at the moment.

Did the thing where you make random blobs with watercolour and then try and come up with what silhouettes they could be. And then got bored after three.

Proboscis monkeys (also called bekantans) sitting on a sign warning people to be quiet and respect them. They are known to be shy and bothered by loud noises.
