Range & habitat
The Javan surili occurs in the western half of Java, Indonesia. It ranges as far east as Mt. Lawu on the border with East Java. It is mostly confined to Sundaland due to changes in the geography, sea level and vegetation that occurred during the Pleistocene, and partly due to the type of vegetation and soil there today. The Javan surili lives in primary and secondary lowland rainforests up to an elevation of 2,500 m (8,200 ft).
