    Mandrills mainly live in tropical rainforests but will also travel across savannas.

    Its biggest threats are


    habitat destruction and hunting for bushmeat. Gabon is considered the stronghold for the species. Its
    habitat has declined in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea, while its range in the Republic of the Congo is
    limited. It is one of the most colorful mammals in the world, with red and blue skin on its face and
    posterior. They live in large, stable groups known as "hordes" which can contain hundreds of individuals.
    The mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) is a large Old World monkey native to west-central Africa. Dominant
    males have the most vibrant colors and fattest flanks and rumps. The mandrill is classified as vulnerable
    on the IUCN Red List. The species is sexually dimorphic, as males have a larger body, longer canine teeth
    and brighter coloring. Females form the core of these groups, while adult males are solitary and only
    reunite with the larger groups during the breeding season.
