I think somewhere deep inside, real deep, I fear that I will look like a proboscis monkey when I grow old: hairy, gangly, round-bellied, thick-browed, and with an obtrusive nose. I post this picture with the intent of facing my fears. It's not very cathartic.
Thanks for the link, anonymous commenter.

He looks like Ally Oop, dontcha think?
What a wonderful looking animal! Straight out of Dr. Suess.
With his greyish fur, I wonder if this is a distinguished older gentleman simian.
Or just one of those old monkey coots: "Ya damn kids -- get outa my tree!)
I have seen quite a few humans who look like this guy. I'll start saying hello to them in case one of them is you, Wombat...
The Malay name of this monkey is "Orang Belanda " which is exactly the Malay name for the Dutch people ( Orang = People + Belanda = the Netherlands ).
Why ? Maybe the blonde hair.
On a different note, the Malay term " Orangutan " means Jungle People. Yup, you guessed it - Orang = People + (H)utan = Jungle / Forest.
