Give me a little ker-honk, Schnozzle.
(Ker-honking) Hey, easy, Schnozz!
I'm just passing through.
Just what I thought!
His nose is a resonating chamber!
A reso-what?
I'll stick to calling it a nose.
A resonating chamber!
(Strumming guitar) See, when I strum a guitar like this, the sound coming from the strings bounces around inside the guitar, making it nice and loud.
It's the same with Schnozzle's nose.
He makes a sound, and the sound bounces around in his big nose, making it louder.
That's another reason his nose is so huge!
Cool!
Okay, this should help him get his strength back.
I've got the proboscis monkey's favorite leaves!
Wow, this monkey has one strange feature after another.
He's got a bowling ball in there?
No, he has 4 stomachs!
Leaves are super-hard to digest, so the proboscis monkey has 4 stomach chambers that the leaves pass through.
Each one digests the leaves a little bit more.
That way, the monkey can eat even the toughest leaves.
What?
4 stomachs full of leaves?
If I had 4 stomachs, I'd use one for hamburgers, one for milkshakes, one for pickles and one for pizza!
