Feeding and Social Behaviour of Common Primates in the Kakum National Park, Central Region of Ghana

combinations most times. The white crested hOl1lbill and the black and Maxwell's duikers were found to associate with the monkeys during feeding. No natural predators 10 monkeys were found. The agility of the monkeys coupled with various lliarm-response mechanisms seemed to prevent predators from getting close. Poaching by the surrounding communities seemed to be a problem in the Kakum National Park and this affected any initiation of monkey viewing as a tourist attraction. Viewing of monkeys as a viable tourist attraction may not be realised because the monkeys were seen to be afrai~ of humans probably because of the poaching menace. Thus the tourism potentials were very low and depended on human (poaching) influences. Cercopithecus /ilOilO, Cercopithecus pctourista and Procolobus versus could be viewed or watched after hiding effectively during times that the monkeys were active. More research needs to be done in the Kakum National Park especially on the monkeys to add to the compilation of a comprehensive document on rainforest primates.
