"Smile for the camera" "Oh, wait - never mind..."


Photos via the Nature is Metal subreddit, where there is no useful discussion except for the identification of this as a Yunnan snub-nosed monkey.  Posted as a reminder of the dentition of wild animals.  A quick search didn't reveal for me the survival advantage of a snub-nosed face, especially since it's such a marked contrast to the Proboscis monkeys.

  1. Survival advantage may be nothing more than that the snub nose makes this monkey more attractive to the opposite sex.
