My 4 year old daughter was able to recognise a fairly artistic photo of a proboscis monkey [0] about one month after having seen an episode of Wild Kratts [1] (in Belgium they only have the cartoon and not any live footage). So this was not a toy that she'd played with, she'd never seen a photo and they don't have them at the local zoo. Nor was it an obvious animal. But clearly the nose is distinctive enough to match up from a cartoon to a photo. In dutch it's effectively called a 'nose monkey' (neusaap) which makes the name easier to remember for kids.
