А вот и самочка носача/proboscis monkey/Nasalis larvatus. Нос у неё тоже своеобразный. И расцветка прикольная - серые ноги, руки и хвост неплохо сочетаются с рыжей спинкой.

На второй день и самец носача/proboscis monkey/Nasalis larvatus
неплохо получился. Встретили его по дороге на пирс прямо на территории отеля.

#CrittersOfMastadon

The #proboscis monkey is a large primate endemic to the island of Borneo. It's named after the long, hanging nose present in males. Spends most of its time living in the trees near mangrove #forests or #jungle streams.

These fleshy #noses can grow to as long as 4 in (10 cm), often hanging lower than their mouths. These are absent in females monkeys which have smaller, triangular noses. All proboscis monkeys have webbed toes and fingers that aid in swimming.

These are a few photographs from yesterday.

I scrambled to get the phone out after a curious #bee landed on one of my son’s hot chocolate cup.

The sweet chockie on the lid was a definite go-to for this little fella. In fact, he even went back for seconds.

(Notice in the middle shot, how he sucks up droplets of the liquid using a long straw-like tongue called a #proboscis? - pretty cool!)

#Ordovician #opabiniid-like animals and the role of the #proboscis in #euarthropod head evolution nature.com/articles/s41467-022

A proboscis—thought to represent a fused pair of head appendages—was not unique to #opabiniids, but instead was present in the common ancestor of #radiodonts and modern #arthropods, and through evolutionary time may have reduced to become the labrum of modern arthropods.

Artistic reconstruction of the Ordovician fossils Mieridduryn bonniae. Original artwork by Franz Anthony. They are segmented water animals with round lobes on sides of the body, a smooth shield on the head, and a proboscis sticking out from the front, which they use for digging in sediment on the floor.

Video by @joelsartore / Jaka, the proboscis monkey @wrs.ig, was the 6,000th species to "board" the Photo Ark. This species loves to swim, and can dive as deep as 20 meters (yards) below the surface, though they spend most of their time high up in the trees within Borneo’s forests. Only the males have large, pendulous noses—which help carry their calls throughout their home range. Their nose is also an indicator of social status: the larger the nose, the more dominant the male. To see a still shot of this species follow me @joelsartore. #monkey #primate #bignose #proboscis #PhotoArk #savetogether
