A proboscis monkey hangs out in a tree in the jungles of Borneo (ARCHIVED PHOTO on the weekends - originally photographed 2006/09/08).

Proboscis monkeys are the most unintentionally comic members of the animal kingdom. It could be the long nose, the pot bellies or a strange coloration of fur that makes them appear as if they're wearing underwear. But for the love of god, please avert your eyes from the monkey's unfortunate erect member.
