    The mandrill lives in large stable groups of hundreds of individuals led by dominant males with the brightest colors. They inhabit tropical rainforests and savannas of west-central Africa, though their habitat has declined in parts of their range. Males are generally solitary except during breeding season, while females form the core social groups. The mandrill faces threats from habitat loss and hunting.

    They live in large, stable groups known as "hordes" which can contain hundreds of individuals.

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