The longest primate nose??

Proboscis monkeys (Nasalis larvatus, Nosacz sundajski), found only on the Island of Borneo, have pendulous noses reaching up to 17.5 cm long in elderly male specimens.

Best known for this impressively sized honker of a nose and engorged beer-gut belly, proboscis monkeys are quite a symbol of the Polish “Janusz.”

Male monkeys use their large noses to attract females, by look and sound. �Just like the antler�s of a bull moose, the nose of a proboscis monkey displays that monkey�s status.  As far as the tummies, these animals are specialized plant-eaters, and �appear permanently potbellied because of their huge stomachs, which contain a bacterial soup that helps them digest seeds, leaves, and green fruits.�
