It is said that the Proboscis monkey is a reddish-brown arboreal Old World monkey that is endemic to the south-east Asian island of Borneo. In Sabah, it can be found in Sukau, Sg. Segama, Klias and other places in small population. Apart from having a large body size, it can swing fast from tree to tree and swimming. The adoption of the proboscis monkey is to promote eco-tourism and to create awareness about the animal.{{cite web|url=http://documents.pageflip-flap.com/uocI9l7SFb9BVHJ3ovBUDcJV#p=11|title=Flip Flap Sukma Mascots|access-date=6 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304080732/http://documents.pageflip-flap.com/uocI9l7SFb9BVHJ3ovBUDcJV#p=11|archive-date=4 March 2016|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=http://ww1.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2001&dt=0304&pub=utusan_malaysia&sec=Sukan&pg=su_08.htm|title=Monkey is Sukma Mascot|access-date=16 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171017042532/http://ww1.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2001&dt=0304&pub=utusan_malaysia&sec=Sukan&pg=su_08.htm|archive-date=17 October 2017|url-status=dead}}{{Clear}}
