The long-nosed monkey is an endemic species to the island of Borneo. The monkey also goes by the Malay name monyet belanda ("Dutch monkey" or "Dutchman"), as Indonesians remarked that the Dutch colonisers often had similarly large bellies and noses.
It is living along the river shores in Borneo in the mangrove forests.

Photography Tips

For the photo of the monkey (cropped) I used a 300mm tele (actually 70-300mm). This is about the minimal focus length you need to catch these anymals.

You need to arrange a boat trip and ship along the river shore to find the long-nosed monkeys.
