UNLIKE THE GREEN VERVET MONKEYS WHO WILL COME OUT OF THE TREES TO BEG FOR FOOD THESE BEAUTIFULL CREATURES ARE EASILY SPOOKED AND CLIMB UP AND OUT OF SIGHT. IF YOU SNEEK UP QUIETLY YOU CAN CAPTURE THEM ON CAMERA.

When I was researching our trip to Tasmania I read about a Monkey Island in the City Park in Launceston. I wasn't sure what to expect, but was delighted to see a display of Japanese Macaque monkeys.

Proboscis or long-nosed monkey (Neusaap, Nasalis larvatus).

 

You won't be surprised this big-nosed Indonesian species was named by the rather ingenious indigenous people after their Dutch colonizers: Monyet Belanda or Orang belanda means Dutch monkey or simply Dutchman.

The silvered leaf monkey, also known as the silvery lutung or the silvery langur, is an Old World monkey. They inhabit mangrove swamps and coastal forest regions, and generally avoids travelling far from coasts or rivers. Usually found in Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo, these two live in Jungle World at the Bronx Zoo.

The Proboscis Monkey (Nasalis larvatus) is also known as the Monyet Belanda in Malay, the Bekantan in Indonesian 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]

While the official Indonesian name for this monkey is Bekantan, an Indonesian nickname is 'monyet belanda', meaning 'Dutch monkey' or 'Orang Belanda', the Indonesian word for 'Dutchman', as Indonesians noticed the Dutch colonisers often also had a large belly and nose.
