The Proboscis Monkey

Did you know that the Proboscis Monkey was once worshiped by the Egyptians and believed to be special to the gods? That's not the only reason this monkey is unique. Their long noses and huge bellies make them the most distinct primate in the world. Why do they have such humongous noses you say? It is said that, though ugly, the nose is meant to attract females by allowing them to make a louder, bolder noise- sort of a roaring, squealing, and honking sound( Below is an attached link where you can hear an audio of them talking). It can also be used as a snorkel in the water for swimming. In addition to their odd noses, their stomachs contain a bacteria that can actually kill poison in their foods. They can eat whatever they want! Would you want to be a monkey?
