    Females form the core of these groups, while adult males are solitary and only reunite with

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