About this ebook
Although proboscis monkeys are known for their extremely large noses, they also have webbed feet and hands that make them skilled swimmers. They are known to jump from the trees where they spend most of their time into nearby rivers, often landing in a belly flop! Discover the reasons for their strange behavior in this title for young students.
