yes, its a Indonesian Bekantan monkey a slight variant of the proboscis.

it looks a bit like kevin bacon.

Nine animals climb up the same tree to search for food

… since when do goats climb trees??.. I honestly had no idea until now.

Goats climb argan trees in order to eat their black olive-like fruits, which can be addictive.

Oil: The argan tree produces delicacies for humans, as well as for animals

so this is how a swordfish catches a meal but how does it then eat it?

If they were only a little more intelligent they would realize they are more of a threat to the wolves than the wolves to them

I’m not so sure about that.

Well you look at wildebeest

tortoise wandered into a pride of lions and survives

Anyone hear about the Black Rhinoceros becoming officially extinct? Pretty terrible, in my opinion, hate to see a species leave although I understand it’s probably natural…

Hippos (especially males) kill more people in Africa than all other indigenous African animals combined. They are highly aggressive and territorial, which is why not even Nile crocodiles mess with them.

Thats what I forgot to add. Their looks and mannerisms are very deceiving, they have to be really fast to be able to kill so many people.

That Hippo didnt look so happy with some overweight dude sitting on its back.

Why would someone even think they could keep a hippo as a pet?!
