Hey...wait a minute!

Don't jump to a conclusion yet. Treat this as a Zoology class and read what the note has to say about my long-lost distant cousin.

Proboscis monkeys are sexually dimorphic. The males have a length of 70 cm and weight of between 16 and 22 kg. Females measure 60 cm and weigh between 7 and 12 kg. Males have a large protruding nose, which enhances vocalizations through resonance. The nose of the female is smaller.

The fur of the adult proboscis monkey is pink and brown with red around the head and shoulders. The arms, legs, and tail are gray. Males have a black scrotum and a red penis.

Infants are born with a blue colored face that at 2.5 months darkens to gray. By 8.5 months of age, the face has become cream colored as in the adults.

Proboscis monkeys have webbing between the digits to allow for swimming.

The basic social unit in proboscis monkeys is a single adult male with a harem of from 2 to 7 adult females. The males mate with females in their social group.

Proboscis monkeys give birth to a single offspring after a gestation of 166 days. Births usually occur at night. The female sits on a tree branch during the birth. After the infant is born, the mother consumes the placenta.

Okay, so now we understand better why this primate never have an EDS (Erectile Dysfunction Syndrome) like some of their homo sapiens distant cousins; and they don't need a stimulant!

Thanks for viewing.

hi Agoes

This primate wears no clothes, so I suppose this is not a 'nude' photo. What can I say, you have caught the moment.

tfs, bill

Well I am not sure what a person would prefer: to have EDS or to have such a nose, black stroctum and red penis;)))
Funny shot,
Thanks

Hi Agoes,
So what you are implicating is that a harem should fix EDS problems ... ummm that would be an interesting idea to propose to the wife ... just make sure she is not near any sharp or heavy objects when you tell her :) Anyway, nice capture and informative notes. Well done! tfs
Cheers,
Renier
