fun fact: the swimming monkey is a male proboscis monkey. i wrote an o’reilly animal book* and they chose to put that animal on the cover, so I read up on them. they’re good swimmers.
*having written an o’reilly animal book means something to a particular kind of early-stage Internet geek, but the o’reilly animal book I wrote was arguably the least-deserving of such status out of the many such books, so I’m not claiming any specialness for having done that. just wanted to explain why I feel a special fondness for the male proboscis monkey.
