Cercocebus alb.
6 November 1965
Hima Block, Kibale Forest, Tory Uganda:
0945, in green 100' forest along a dirt road, 4 mine Colobus + 2 others
within 50yds. Same tree off 1 to 2' strips green bark, 10-20 mm.
wide, dry peel with teeth. By one, for 3' over half girth of 3" stem.
Branch peeled. Further out, branch completely stripped of bark. Another
tree, 3" branch completely peeled for 6+ feet. Do mangabeys strip Encephalton
bark + colobus get blame?
20 mi. E. Kampala, 7+1mi. N. Lwazi,
ganda.
11-12 November 1965. With Neal Chalmers, visited Malwa (?) forest area
when he studied. He said 3 groups in study area, about 1/2 mile apart.
Lived in denser part forest than C. nictitans. We saw one gp. at, with one
carrying inf. Heard alarm calls, loud. An eagle (=?-some sort, bares look)
perched 100 yds. from monkeys may have been cause alarm. C. says these
monkeys often strip bark of dying trees.
