I've been looking at pictures of these animals on Google image search. They are all great. I think my favorite is the Proboscis Monkey.

Ratty--I only seen Orang Utan, Sun Bear and Clouded Leopard but it is not in the wild. In zoo and Wildlife Sanctuary. Hopefully i can observed Proboscis Monkey because there is one place not far from where i am now that we can see them in the wild. Along the river. I will try to get a photo if i can do it. Those animal are amzaing and interesting.
