Pendulous Noses...

... are found only on one species in the world -- the Proboscis monkey, which resides only in Borneo. On the males, it is very pronounced, and is used to both help with making wonderful honking noises as well as to sexually attract the females. The bigger the schnozz is, the better chance the guy has a of gettin' some. And speaking of sex, apparently, the male has a pretty much constant erection. Isn't it Viagra for humans that says "If you have an erection for more than four hours, consult your doctor immediately."? Hmmm. I guess constant erections are healthy for monkeys, but not for man....seems evolution is playing a cruel trick on the human race, eh?
