Postcard title : Nature Of Sabah

Proboscis monkeys (Nasalis Larvatus) are vegetarian and predominantly eat leaves.

These unique monkeys are only found in Borneo island especially Sabah, Sarawak and Kalimantan, and listed as total protected animal in the world.

Proboscis monkeys live almost exclusively in mangrove forest near fresh water and in lowlands rainforests, they live in groups of five to fifteen with an adult male as their leader. Unlike the Orangutans, Proboscis monkeys can't be kept in the zoo as they will die after a while. Therefore, the only and best "sanctuary" for them is their natural habitat in the wild.

The Silvered Leaf Monkeys (Presbytis Cristata) also called Silvered Langur is a diurnal arboreal species which lives in troops of 12 to 25 - one male, several female and young. The male guards the troop against predators and keeps them together. It moves through the forest on all fours, and spends most of its life in the trees of the primary growth, mangrove, riverine and coastal forests of low altitudes. However, some of them have been observed living on the ground. It weights about 30 pounds and is 18 to 26 inches long, plus it has an eight inches long tail. Its coat is a brownish-grey to black, with white-tripped hairs which give a silvery gloss, thus the name "Silvered" Leaf Monkey. It has a high crest of hair on the top of its head, which can be very distinctive in older monkeys, and its blackish face is covered by long whiskers that grow over its ears. In contrast, newborns are bright orange, with black hands and feet and no crest on the crown of their heads. The Silvered Leaf Monkey prefers to eat immature leaves because they are more digestible, but they also eat occasional buds, fruits, flowers and young shoots. The primary threat to its survival is the reduction of its reserved forest habitat due to human encroachment.
