Proboscis Definition
What is proboscis? A proboscis refers to an elongated or projecting appendage in the head region of certain animals. In invertebrates, such as certain insects, annelids, mollusks, and ribbon worms, the proboscis is a hollow tubular cephalic appendage. In butterflies, in particular, their proboscis is connected to the oral region. Their proboscis, therefore, serves as a feeding or a sucking organ. In certain vertebrates, the proboscis is not attached to the mouth but may be formed as a fusion of the nose and the upper lip (as in snouts). Common examples of vertebrate proboscises are the elephant trunk and the elongated nose of the proboscis monkey.
