Oral Processing Behaviors of Golden Monkeys (Cercopithecus mitis kandti) From Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. [PDF]

Am J Primatol
ABSTRACT Primate foraging behaviors are influenced by a variety of factors including the physical and mechanical properties of food items. Golden monkeys (Cercopithecus mitis kandti) inhabiting Volcanoes National Park (VNP), Rwanda, rely heavily on mechanically challenging bamboo shoots and bamboo leaves for the bulk of their diet. We examined the oral
