The island of Borneo is home to many rare species of flora and fauna, like the proboscis monkey.

It’s easy to spot a proboscis monkey. Its fur is mostly orange and gray, it has a long tail and a large, distinctive nose. In fact, you can tell which monkey is the head of the barrel just by looking at the size of its nose – a bigger nose means bigger power.
