| | Proboscis Monkey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The purpose of the large nose is unclear, but it has been suggested that it is simply a result of sexual selection, i.e. | | | Their digestive system is divided into several parts, with distinctive gut flora, which help them digest leaves. | | | Group membership is very flexible, and animals are known to move from group to group quite often. |

| | Not only would Toronto Zoo bring discredit upon itself by being involved in an activity detrimental to the survival of an endangered species, but it may effectively set the stage for continuation of poor forestry practices and captures of proboscis. | | | Conversely, the captive proboscis would not develop immunity to the same ailments as the proboscis in the wild and may also face serious health risks. | | | Since the quality of life for captive non-human primates is a relatively new area of study, and since many of these qualities are ephemeral and ineffable, they have not yet been ascertained-except in the negative: that is, animals die. |
