Schleich 14846 Proboscis Monkey

The proboscis monkey from the Schleich® WILD LIFE theme world is a primate species that lives in the rainforests and mangrove forests of the Asian island of Borneo. The males have a remarkably large nose that can reach a length of no less than 10 cm. But they can't really smell good with it. Researchers believe that the nose serves to impress the females. Proboscis monkeys are mammals that are active during the day. They live in small groups and feed on leaves and fruits.
