A proboscis monkey holds onto a branch of a climbing structure at the San Diego Zoo
Actual Photo Co., La Jolla, California, US
The animal represented in this "Actual Photo" is labeled a proboscis monkey at the San Diego Zoo. The animal might be a baby, since its proboscis (nose) is not very long or pronounced. According to the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources), in 2013 this monkey's conservation status is "endangered." The San Diego Zoo is in Balboa Park, San Diego, California. The image is an actual photograph rather than a printed reproduction. The back of the card states that it was "finished in West Germany." The two numbers on the back of the card are ZA 47 and (P195).
