Abstract

Fifty-one species, 101 food items for woody plants, and 15 species, 23 food items for herbaceous plants were listed as food eaten by Japanese monkeys in Kinkazan Island which belong to cooltemperate regions. The data on the proportion of time spent feeding on all each food items in each half-month were also shown in the list. Such basic data on food habits of non-human primates has little scientific news value but are supposed to be still valuable for beginners of animal ecologists and review workers.
