Videoproducer Jan van der Meer visited in 2006 the Big Nose Monkeys in Malaysia Borneo province SARAWAK and SABAH. As many other animal species this PROBOSCIS MONKEY is on the endangered list of nearly extinct animals. In the same woods lives also the rare Pygmy Elephant! But Jan went for the last remaining and very rare and shy Proboscis Monkey after watching some footage on National Geographic. People living there call him the Orang Belanda: The Dutchman, because his huge nose and pot belly are as big as from the first Dutch sailors around 16th century. From July 2011 the Dutch can finally see this big nose monkey in Animalpark Apenheul (Monkeyhill) Amersfoort Holland. With a rate of 300 football fields per hour, their habitat is being cleared for palm oil plantations. And remarkable fact is that Holland is the biggest importer of this oil. Read all about it on Jan’s blog with route info at: in English ProboscisMonkey.org and in Dutch global-dvc.org/proboscis%20monkey.htm
These monkeys do love sex and do it 20 times a day with different ladies. Our guide called their cock, the Red Chili and it stands for 24 hours! Listen to his imitations of all the sounds they make. Watch this little document part of much more material Jan filmed in the remaining jungle. He specially did not put music under their unique original honking sounds.
