The Mantled Howler (Alouatta palliata), or Golden-mantled Howling Monkey, is a species of howler monkey, a type of New World monkey, from Central and South America. It is one of the monkey species most often seen and heard in the wild in Central America. It takes its "mantled" name from the long guard hairs on its sides.
"Pedro!" cried the young proboscis monkey, "the hippo's are laughing at my nose again!". "Fear not, Miguel," replied Pedro in a booming baritone, "I will teach them to respect the sanctity of our nasal appendages. They are merely jealous of our magnificent olfactory senses - and for that they must pay!".

The Proboscis Monkey (Nasalis larvatus), known as the bekantan in Malay, or simply the Long-nosed Monkey. It is a reddish-brown arboreal Old World monkey that is endemic to the south-east Asian island of Borneo. It belongs in the monotypic genus Nasalis, although the Pig-tailed Langur has traditionally also been included in this genus - a treatment still preferred by some.[3]
The monkey also goes by the Malay name monyet belanda 'Dutch monkey,' or even Orang Belanda 'Dutchman,' as Indonesians remarked that the Dutch colonisers often had a similarly large belly and nose. (wikipedia.org)
