Q. Proboscis monkey, recently seen in the news, is found in the rainforests of which island?
Answer:
Borneo
Notes: Male proboscis monkeys evolved their enhanced noses to attract mates, found only in Borneo's rainforests. They're among Asia's largest monkeys with distinctive long noses and large stomachs. Habitats include coastal mangroves and riverine forests, with a diet mainly of leaves. They swim well with webbed fingers and toes, living in harem groups. Threatened by habitat loss from deforestation, they're classified as Endangered by the IUCN and listed in CITES Appendix I.
