Synopsis
Documentary that explores the unique world of the Proboscis monkey -- examining the life, habitat and physical features, most notably characterized by its large, elongated, rubbery "bill-like" nose, which can be found only in the forests of Borneo. As humans expand their farms and homesteads into the Borneo forests, this endangered primate's habitat is simultaneously being destroyed. Of all the monkeys' few predators, humans are eliminating this species at the fastest rate. These animals once roamed the entire country, but are now confined to a small patch of forest, surrounded by encroaching humans.
