Peter what Is it you look for in a spotting of the day? Great picture by the way! :)
Spotting of the day! "Found exclusively on the Island of Borneo, the Proboscis monkey has a distinctly long nose which amplifies his mating call." http://facebook.com/projectnoah/posts/259831657368604 http://twitter.com/projectnoah/status/105128945623646208
