Proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus), also know as bekantan or monyet blenda, is a massive primate that can only be found on the island of Borneo (Endemic to Borneo). Generally speaking, proboscis monkeys are arboreal, it prefers to reside in the trees that surround mangrove forests or bushland, where it can be distinguished by its long dangling nose. A long-nosed monkey’s more population can be found in the East Kalimantan and South Kalimantan. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List lists this animal species as VULNERABLE due to the threat of destruction in its tropical rainforest habitat.

The proboscis monkey is a large species, being one of the largest monkey species native to Asia. Only the Tibetan macaque and a few of the gray langurs can rival its size. Sexual dimorphism is pronounced in the species. Theories for the extensive length of their nose suggest it may be sexual selection by the females, who prefer louder vocalisations, with the size of the nose increasing the volume of the call. Nevertheless, the nose of the female is still fairly large for a primate. The proboscis monkey has a long coat; the fur on the back is bright orange, reddish brown, yellowish brown or brick-red. The underfur is light-grey, yellowish, or greyish to light-orange. Infants are born with a blue coloured face that at 2.5 months darkens to grey. By 8.5 months of age, the face has become cream coloured like the adults. The male has a red penis with a black scrotum. Both sexes have bulging stomachs that give the monkeys what resembles a pot belly. Many of the monkeys' toes are webbed.

It is our responsibility to promote the protection of these charismatic animals and prevent them from going extinct in large numbers. The Wildlife Collective Charity Drive donates 50% of the proceeds from each sale to the organization of their choosing.
