Despite the fact that there are tens of thousands of different animal species on the planet—from horrific and unusual to lovely and adorable—some zoological enthusiasts have deemed Proboscis monkeys to be the most repulsive creature on the planet.
According to Daily Mail, some people find Proboscis monkeys to be strange-looking creatures mainly because of their unusual facial traits, with males having huge noses and females having pointy noses.
The explanation for these monkeys’ peculiar faces, which are advantageous to them, has been discovered by a recent study.
The results show that a person’s nose has a major role in attracting women.
According to study leader Dr. Katharine Balolia, “We found that male monkeys have much bigger nasal cavities than female monkeys, and their nasal cavities also have a different shape compared to females.”
“A longer and larger nasal cavity allows male monkeys to make louder and deeper calls, which helps them establish their dominance and health.”
Additionally, the study’s chief researcher stated: “This helps the male monkeys ward off other males and attract females.”
“A person can father more children the more girls he can draw in. Thus, a big nose and the ability to produce nasal roars and honks more effortlessly because of a peculiarly formed nasal cavity truly assist men flaunt their rank and quality to potential romantic partners.”
“Proboscis monkeys live in coastal mangroves and forested environments and often can’t see each other through the trees,” she explained.
