The East Sumatran banded langur[1], also called the East Sumatran banded surili, is a monkey species in the Cercopithecidae family.
- Slender limbs perfect for arboreal life and a long tail that project from the banded surili’s lanky body.
- The hair on their head tends to let loose in a mohawk configuration or triangular tuft. Dark eyes search through two white circles for fruit in the canopy.
- The species is covered in dark fur coats that are surprisingly lighter on the belly, varying from bright white to duller gray stripes.
- As with all colobine monkeys, whose young typically have lighter fur than adults, banded surilis infants have white or fawn-colored fur until they begin darkening at around 6 months.
