Borneo is the third largest island in the world.  Its name alone conjures up images of vast forest, rivers, mountains and unique wildlife.  Many of these wonders are familiar - the spectacles of Mulu's caves and Mount Kinabalu, the beauty of its orchids and Rafflesia flowers and the splendor of Borneo's Orang Utans and Hornbills.  among the less familiar wonders of Borneo is one of the most spectacular animals in the world, the Proboscis Monkey (Nasalis Iarvatus).  This monkey can only be found on the island of Borneo.  Even here, it is mainly found in coastal swamp forests.  The inhospitable nature of these forests meant that, until recently, the life of this bizarre animal was largely unknown.  Pioneering studies by the authors and co-workers have at last, revealed some of the secrets of this fascinating animal.  One of the largest monkeys in the world, the male Proboscis monkey, with its outlandish nose and outsized stomach, has a harem of females, drawn to him by his weird good looks.  Proficient tree climbers and leapers, divers and swimmers, with an unusual social life, Proboscis monkeys live in one of the most unusual habitats in the tropics.  This ii is one of Borneo's most spectacular and fascinating denizens.
