Western Javan Surili (Presbytis comata comata) a.k.a Grizzled Leaf Monkey is the endemic monkey of West Java that are currently listed on the IUCN red list of endangered species because of habitat loss due to human activity. They are smart, agile, have a great sense of humour and likes to gather arround. They represent freedom, and, more or less the character of the people here :P

SURILI dapat dimaknai sebagai suara atau pendapat rakyat. Hal ini tergambar dalam cenita pantun ‘Lutung Kasarung’ ketika Guru Minda dan kahyangan diturunkan ditengah hutan negara Pasin Batang Anu Girang, disambut sukacita oleh SURILI sareuni. Diceritakan SURILI sareuni, tingguntayang, barungah mapag putra Sunan Gunung Ambu anu Lungsur ka marcapada (SURILI kegirangan, bergelantungan merasa bahagia menyambut kehadiran Putra Sunan Ambu yang turun ke dunia). Berbeda dengan waktu Aki Panyumpit mencari binatang buruan, SURILI tidak mendengarkan suaranya karena ketakutan. Kedua kejadian ini dapat dimaknai bahwa bila rakyat kecil bersuara hal itu menandakan rakyat dihinggapi rasa ketakutan.
