Underrated Animal of the Day: Proboscis Monkeys

Thoughts on Proboscis Monkeys?

they are very cute and i love them <3

[bignosebaby]

Hello! I'm new to your blog but a long time admirer of Simians. Do you have a favorite out of the many to choose from or is there a tier list?

P.S. Have a funny GIF for reading! 🦍🦧🐒💞

I couldn't possibly objectively rank primates, but I can certainly list a few of my favourites!

The proboscis monkey is a long standing favourite of mine, and is the reason I created this blog in the first place!

I love gibbons. Siamangs, with their inflatable throat sacs are particularly unique and charming.

Mandrills I have more of a personal connection to-- every time I have encountered mandrills I have found them to be really nice! Both the family group at the Granby Zoo and the Calgary Zoo's sibling pair have been social, curious, and welcoming to me. As large and intimidating as they look, mandrills have been very pleasant to me.

I really love every great ape, but lately I have been particularly fond of bonobos. They are truly unique in having a positive physiological reaction to strangers, and their desire to share and connect with others is just too good to be true. They aren't entirely non-aggressive as some may think, but rather have different methods for venting aggression that revolve around social sexual behaviour.

This is just a short list of my favourites, and it is always changing. Truly, every primate has something to love.

if proboscis monkeys had an internet and memes they’d make chad memes but the chads have absolutely enormous, pendulus noses that hang down to their chests

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.

why do u hate horses

the answer is manifold:

i know too many unpleasant horse facts (the foam sweat, the lungs bleeding, the fingerlegs, the old age castration, etc etc)

the city i live in is full of farms and i went to school with horse girls

homestuck

too many virility metaphors

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.
