Ugly Animals We Should Save
It’s not just beautiful lions and gorillas that are threatened. These less glamorous animals need our help too, and the Ugly Animal Preservation Society is trying to draw attention to them.
No prizes for guessing why proboscis monkeys got their name. It’s not clear why their noses are so big, but males tend to have bigger ones than females, so they might serve as a marker of sexual attractiveness – a bit like the feathers of a bird of paradise, but less obviously pretty. They also have complicated digestive systems to help them digest leaves and fruit, and may be the only primate that chews the cud.
