10 strange looking animals you don’t know exist (With Pictures)

8. The Proboscis Monkey

This one looks interesting. The proboscis monkey is very colorful and simply grabs attention. Its nose resembles a prominent part of the male anatomy which adds a bit of comedy to the animal’s repertoire.

It lives in jungles and mangroves and feeds on unripe fruits. According to studies, these monkeys get bloated once they eat ripe fruits because the sugar in ripe fruits ferments their digestive system and creates gas. The bloating is so severe that it can cause death.

These monkeys are considered a delicacy in some parts of the world and are under the threat of extinction. They are listed as an endangered species.
