Favorite thing: The Proboscis Monkey is also called "Dutchman Monkey" or "Monyet Belanda" in Malay. Why exactly they have this name is not clear, but the possible reasons that are mentioned are definitely not flattering for "us" Dutchmen:
1) They have a big nose, the longer the male's nose is, the more attractive the monkeys are.
2) They have a red face, the Dutchmen, during the time of their colonization, had red faces too all the time, due to sun and alcohol.
3) They have a big belly. For the Dutchmen the reason was their beer-consumption. For the Monkeys it is because they have an enormous stomach that can take up to 25% of its total body weight.
4) Both Proboscis Monkeys and Dutchmen can be very hairy, on the belly, but also on the back, on the arms and on the legs.
5) Why does nobody mention the big size of the Proboscis' p.nis?
