The Marmaray, connecting the European and Asian shores of Istanbul, is the world's first sea tunnel between two continents. Turkey has opened the world's first underwater rail link between two continents, connecting Asia and Europe and allowing Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan to realise a project dreamt up by Ottoman sultans more than a century ago.
The labium forms the floor of the dragonfly's mouth, the labrum forms the top, while the hypopharynx is inside the mouth and is used in swallowing. Conceptually, then, the mosquito's proboscis is an adaptation of the mouthparts that occur in other insects. The labium still lies beneath the other mouthparts, but also enfolds them, and it has been extended into a proboscis.
The proboscis, or long-nosed, monkey (Nasalis larvatus) is a large tree-dwelling primate native to Southeast Asia. Known for their large distinctive-looking noses, proboscis monkeys are among the most easily-identifiable of Borneo's primate species.Habitat loss and hunting have led to a decline in the population of proboscis monkeys, and they are considered to be endangered.ccording to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, proboscis monkeys are limited to scattered and inconsistently distributed populations throughout their native range. Population estimates suggest that in some areas where populations once numbered in the thousands, few monkeys remain.
