Proboscis monkey and his cucumber

Proboscis monkey and his cucumber
The males of the species have permanently prominent erect penises...even when swinging through the prickly jungle! (Ouch!)
In a wild environment in Borneo, where they come in from the jungle daily to be fed. This is because their habitat for foraging is depleted by palm oil plantations.
They are my favourite monkeys, these gentle giants with their comical faces!
