Bako National Park
Getting to Bako from Kuching takes an hour bus ride followed by a half hour longboat cruise to an isolated ten square mile peninsula that is covered in verdant, damp rainforest. Bako is home to macaques, monitor lizards, bearded pigs, and 150 of the approximately 1000 endangered proboscis monkeys in Sarawak.
The male proboscis monkey has a HUGE NOSE. We all know what they say about the size of a male's nose -- and I guess so do the female proboscis monkeys, who judge their potential mates by their noses...
