At the end of Pangandaran peninsula lays a nature reserve called Pananjung, habitats for bull, bat, deer, and monkeys. You could take a guided tour to the bull feeding place, but don't expect too much. Often the bulls do not want to come there, perhaps they are too afraid to see human. On the other hand, it is easy to find deer and monkeys on the beach, outside of the nature reserve.
People are already used to them, so they don't disturb each other. However, please be careful when you are eating some snacks near the monkeys, because they often grab it. It's because many visitors feed them with whatever food they bring, hence, whenever the monkeys are hungry they get out of the forest and try to find some leftover on the beach or find some human to feed them.
