schleich WILD LIFE Proboscis Monkey 14846

The proboscis monkey from the Schleich WILD LIFE theme world is a primate species that lives in the rainforests and mangrove forests of the Asian island of Borneo. Males have a noticeably large nose that can grow up to 10 cm long. However, they don't have a particularly good sense of smell. Researchers believe their nose serves to impress females. Proboscis monkeys are diurnal mammals. They live in small groups and feed on leaves and fruits. Schleich figurines are realistically reproduced and always to scale. All figurines are hand-painted, ensuring they always accurately reflect the original.
