Today's Facebook post:

This mother and baby make such a sweet scene! Red Leaf Monkeys (Presbytis rubicunda) live in Borneo and are forest-dwelling herbivores.

They are called 'leaf' monkeys because leaves make up the bulk of their diets. But, digesting large amounts of fibrous food isn't easy. To deal with this issue, the monkeys have a big, chambered stomach (like that of a cow), which allows them to break down such substantial quantities of plant material. {Photo credit: Mehd Halaouate} #JungleDragon #presbytisrubicunda
