The Mojo Proboscis Monkey figure showcases the prominent features of the proboscis monkey, most notably the large, protruding nose that males of the species are famous for. This nose is sculpted with attention to detail, highlighting its bulbous shape and distinctive profile.
The body of the proboscis monkey figure reflects its robust and elongated form. The fur texture is detailed, showcasing the reddish-brown coat on the back and shoulders, which contrasts with the lighter, grayish underparts. The limbs are proportionally crafted, with long, dexterous fingers and toes that signify the monkey’s adeptness at climbing and swinging through the forest canopy.
The Mojo Proboscis Monkey figure measures approximately 4.5 L x 2.1 H x 1 W inches.
The proboscis monkey is a primate species native to the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. This arboreal monkey is easily recognizable due to its large, fleshy nose, particularly in males. The exaggerated nose is believed to play a role in attracting mates and amplifying vocalizations. Males use their noses to produce resonant calls, which help establish dominance and attract females.
Proboscis monkeys are primarily found in mangrove forests, swamps, and riverine environments. These habitats provide both the necessary foliage for food and the water bodies that are crucial for their survival. As adept swimmers, they are known to cross rivers and swim significant distances, using their webbed feet to navigate the water. This ability to swim is a rare trait among primates and is a key adaptation for living in their unique habitat.
