Roloway monkey (Cercopithecus roloway)

The species is arboreal, and forms social groups of 15 to 30 individuals. Its diet is composed of fruits, flowers, seeds and insects. The Roloway monkey is among the most threatened primates on the African continent, although exact figures for the species are not available. Recent surveys could not find evidence of it in Ghana’s Bia National Park, where it was probably eliminated between mid 1970s and 1990. There are estimates are that there probably has been a population decline of at least 80% over the last three generations
