This is a male proboscis monkey. Its massive nose acts as a sound amplifier to attract mates and intimidate rivals. These monkeys have webbed feet and are exceptional swimmers, helping them navigate Borneo’s coastal mangroves, rivers, and rainforests.

The 18 meter(60 feet) tall flagpoles were taken as trophies and remain at Siena's cathedral to this day
