===Communication=== Proboscis monkeys are known to make various vocalizations. When communicating the status of group, males will emit honks. They have a special honk emitted towards infants, which is also used for reassurance. Males will also produce alarm calls to signal danger. Both sexes give threat calls, but each are different. In addition, females and immature individuals will emit so-called "female calls" when angry.<ref>{{cite journal|author1=Messeri P. |author2=Trombi M. |year=2000| title=Vocal repertoire of proboscis monkey (''Nasalis larvatus'', L.) in Sarawak| journal=Folia Primatol.| volume= 71| issue=4|pages=268β287}}</ref> Honks, roars and snarls are made during low-intensity agonistic encounters. Nonvocal displays include leaping-branch shaking, bare-teeth open mouth threats and [[erection]] in males, made in the same situations.<ref name=Boonratana1993/>
