Nasalis, the fascinating proboscis monkey, captures our attention with its unique features and captivating behavior. Picture No. 11014536 showcases a male Nasalis larvatus in Sabah, Borneo, displaying its distinctive long nose that sets it apart from other primates. In the riverine forest along Kinabatangan River in Sukau, Sabah, we witness another glimpse of these incredible creatures. A mother Nasalis larvatus tenderly suckles her infant, showcasing their strong maternal bond amidst the lush greenery of Malaysia. Further down the Kinabatangan River in Sabah's Borneo region, a female Nasalis larvatus is captured feeding on nutritious foliage. Their diet mainly consists of leaves and unripe fruits found within their habitat. The alpha-male Proboscis monkey exhibits an aggressive display to assert dominance among his troop members. This behavior highlights the intricate social dynamics within this primate species. Tanjung Puting in Indonesia serves as a home for these magnificent creatures as well. Here we find a Proboscis monkey proudly flaunting its elongated nose against the backdrop of Borneo's natural beauty. A heartwarming sight unfolds in Sabah, Malaysia when a nurturing mother Nasalis larvatus cares for her precious infant. The bond between them symbolizes love and protection within this close-knit community. As we explore further into Sabah's wilderness in Malaysia's Borneo region, adult male Proboscis monkeys can be seen dozing peacefully during early morning hours before embarking on their daily activities. Amongst them is also a young female Proboscis monkey who roams freely yet cautiously through the wild terrain. Her presence adds vibrancy to this untamed landscape while reminding us of nature's delicate balance. In one particular sanctuary known as Adi by locals resides another young female Proboscis monkey named Adi herself.
