    When I lived in Brunei as a kid, I'd often see Proboscis Monkeys while on safari through the mangroves, but the funnier story comes from when I visited a zoo in Malaysia. Essentially, i brought a toy jaguar with me as I wandered around the place, and when I got to the Proboscis Monkey enclosure and propped myself up on the viewing platform, they caught sight of the jaguar and quite literally went ape shit, the males roaring and flopping their red chillies towards the jaguars direction. In hindsight, probably wasn't that funny for them, but its hard to take them seriously when they were doing that.

I wish the world was more like this, making sure you're being true to the science of things and the facts but pairing it with the inappropriate humor that most people are thinking but hold back on saying aloud due to fear of being judged or looked at as unprofessional or something super serious.

      Yo I'm so glad to see you kicking around Flynt, frankly I'm just glad you're okay and wanted to thank you for everything as well. A suggestion as well if you find this style of humor to be uplifting, maybe try "How it's actually made", a lot of similar deadpan delivery that just makes me smile way more than it probably should. Anyways keep taking care of yourself, I hope everything is going well.

    Fun fact: In the Polish internet the proboscis monkey is used as a symbol of middle-aged lower working class men. I mean, just look at those monkeys, it's obvious their only hobbies are watching soccer games from the 70s (when the national team was still quite good), drinking cheap beer and not-washing their brand new German cars (of the 1992 vintage), and their greatest enemy is the neighbour who recently bought himself a 1993 Opel Astra (he must have been stealing from his work place, no way he'd be able to afford such a factory-fresh car otherwise!).

All crocodilians are interesting (and totally birds), but there are only 2 species of alligators so it would possibly be a better scope for a 10 min video. Plus the Chinese alligator looks like a puppy. People need to know this.
