Malaysian Borneo is a wonderful wildlife destination, with mammals big and small. The forests of Borneo are under threat but still sustain decent populations of monkeys.

The most famous is the Orangutan, but the most odd-looking has to be this one, the Proboscis Monkey!

An endangered species, the Proboscis Monkey has a humorous look. Males are the ones with the extra long noses, which can extend down beyond their mouth.
