A proboscis monkey was filmed making comical noises at a zoo in Guangzhou, China, sending its famously large nose wobbling with each sound. The clip, shared on September 12, 2024, quickly drew attention for the primate’s expressive features and playful behaviour.
Proboscis monkeys are native to Borneo and are best known for the males’ oversized noses, which can grow longer than 10cm. Scientists believe the unusual noses help amplify calls and attract mates. The rare species is also an excellent swimmer, often spotted leaping into rivers to escape predators.
