[Sandakan Food + Proboscis Monkey Knowledge Sharing]🌿

This time I went to Sandakan, and I went to the market in the morning to eat the legendary slingshot noodles ~ RM10, added an egg, the noodles were super chewy, it really lived up to its reputation! 😋 I also tried the curry fish noodles, RM18, which was fragrant and smooth, and the fish #sandakan was also tender. It was super satisfying to eat this in the morning ~🍜 After eating, I went to the [Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary] to see the super cute proboscis monkeys! Then I found out - huh? Why are some noses long, some short, and some particularly large? 🧐 I checked online and found that the size of the nose is related to these factors: 👨🦰 1. Gender The male's nose is the largest and most droopy, which is the "charming weapon" to attract females! The noses of females and young monkeys are relatively short. 🧬 2. Genetic differences Just like humans have high and flat noses, each monkey's nose will also be different due to different genes. 📈 3. Age Young monkeys have short noses, but when they grow up, especially males, their noses will get longer and longer, and the longer they are, the more "manly" they are. 👑 4. Social status In a monkey group, the higher the status of the male, the bigger his nose is, which means he is stronger and has an advantage! ✅ To summarize: Reason Description Gender Males have big noses, while females/young monkeys have small noses Age The older they are, the longer their noses Genes Individual differences lead to different sizes Status Big nose = symbol of higher status 📍If you have the chance to come to Sandakan, remember to arrange time to see these "long-nosed handsome guys"! It's really interesting to see them in person~
