A recent study conducted in Poland aimed to illuminate ways to inspire people’s concern about protecting species, including the proboscis monkey, that aren’t so aesthetically pleasing. Researchers explored the possibility of raising public interest in conserving this curiously ugly monkey through spreading amusing internet memes – images of the monkey with text linking its appearance to Polish jokes and cultural references – within social media and in conservation marketing. The team then monitored the interest in proboscis monkeys versus conservation superstars such as koalas and gorillas by analysing public donations made to related conservation campaigns. In fact, interviewees’ regard for the aye aye seemed to vary with direct knowledge of aye aye behaviour.

History

The proboscis monkey or long-nosed monkey ( Nasalis larvatus) is an arboreal Old World monkey with an unusually large nose, a reddish-brown skin color and a long tail.

Remember this proverb next time you feel surprised that something is being done differently than you’re used to. I was asked recently about how to finish a bowl made from a Monkey Puzzle Tree. It might surprise you to know that there are very few timbers (very oily ones are the main exception) where one has to be careful with the choice of finish. We often get asked which wax/polish/lacquer/sealer can be used on a specific timber, and the answer is nearly always ‘any of them’.

Another similar take on this phrase is “nie mój cyrk, nie moje małpy” in Polish, which literally translates to “not my circus, not my monkeys.” It has a specific meaning and a slightly different emphasis than what is commonly known. People use it to express frustration when someone does not take advice or when their attempt to remedy a problem fails. Essentially, it means “not my problem” with a hint of, “I told you so.” Examples of Everyday Use

The researchers then compared the numbers of “likes” on Polish memes of proboscis monkeys with photos from WWF and Greenpeace that usually included photos of sad animals or cute species without amusing text. “We found that amusing memes gained more or similar number of “likes” on Facebook as pictures of cute animals presented by WWF of Greenpeace,” she said. “They gained also more “loves.” Facebook likes and emoticons are considered as indices of popularity.” This species co-exists with the Bornean orangutan and monkeys such as the silvery lutung. [4] It belongs in the monotypic genus Nasalis. [5] [6] Taxonomy This proverb means that however you try to obtain a certain goal, it will lead to the same result. 22. Gdzie Rzym, gdzie Krym. In 1942, the 3rd Carpathian Division was formed in North Africa, composed of Polish units who had fled from Poland during the invasion through Romania. This force served across the North Africa Campaign as part of the British Eighth Army, present from as early as 1941, participating in the Siege of Tobruk. With this already battle-hardened division to which Anders’ army would be attached, the Polish II Corps was created in 1943. Stationed in Egypt over the winter, the newly formed II Corps would miss the start of the Allied invasion into Italy as it was reformed into its own independent unit.
