All, I went on the Proboscis monkey tour yesterday and it was pretty interesting. Proboscis monkeys are indigenous to only the island of Borneo (of which Malaysia is one of three constituent countries). It was pretty neat to see them in the wild. They are endangered, but it is surprising that they aren't extinct already, they have absolutely no fear of people. We pulled up in our two tour boats and were making plenty of noise but they didn't seem to mind it much. They just sat around in their treetop perch and continued to eat or (dare I say) monkeying around. [sorry for that.] No but seriously folks, here are some of the pictures. We farted around a little too much for my liking when we first got there - had some drinks (non-alcoholic) and munchies with our host - so we lost about 30 minutes of rapidly fading daylight. I only have an Olympus point and shoot, so I am limited to what even I, Mr. photography degree, can do.
What you can do with a point and shoot
This was one of the houses near where we had our snacks. The houses are on stilts due to the periodic flooding.
Monkeys!!
