AB  - The food and feeding habits of thick-tailed galago (<I>Otelemur crassicaudatus</I>) in Okomu National Park, Edo State, Nigeria were studied for 8 months. Direct observation with the aid of binoculars was used in the data collection. Three visits were made between 0600-1600 h in the Park for 8 months stretching to wet and dry seasons. Data were collected from the plant and animal species the thick-tailed galago fed upon. The faeces of the animal were dried and sieved using 1 mm wire mesh. Some undigested plant materials; seeds, fruits and insect remnants were observed. The results revealed that the thick-tailed galago feeds on wide variety of plant and animal species especially the arthropods.
