The feeding behaviour of representative groups of tantalus monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops tantalus) was observed during 1974-1975 in three habitats in Cameroon. Observations took place during the wet and dry seasons in sahelian savannah, guinea savannah and farmed forest. The tantalus monkeys were similar to other races of C.aethiops that have been studied in that they were omnivorous and lacked any narrow specialisations of either diet or feeding techniques. The dietary range was similar in all three habitats, although considerable seasonal variation occurred. About one third of all feeding took place on the ground.
1974年至1975年期间，在喀麦隆的三个栖息地观察了代表群体的黑臀长尾猴（Cercopithecus aethiops tantalus）的觅食行为。观察在萨赫勒稀树草原、几内亚稀树草原和人工林的雨季和旱季进行。黑臀长尾猴与已研究过的其他埃塞俄比亚长尾猴种族相似，它们是杂食性的，在饮食或觅食技巧上没有任何狭窄的专门化。尽管存在相当大的季节性变化，但在所有三个栖息地的饮食范围相似。所有觅食活动中约有三分之一发生在地面上。
