MANGO MANDRILL

Mandrill is a primate species that is closely related to baboons and is native to Central and Western Africa. They are known for their striking coloration and distinctive facial features.

Here are some of the key characteristics of mandrills:

Physically, mandrills are large and robust animals. Adult males can weigh up to 120 pounds and can be over 4 feet tall when standing on their hind legs.

They have bright blue and red skin on their faces and rumps, and their fur is typically gray or brown.

Mandrills have large, sharp canines and powerful jaws, which they use to crack open hard fruits, nuts, and seeds.

They are social animals and live in large groups called troops, which can have hundreds of individuals.

Mandrills are diurnal, meaning they are active during the day and sleep at night. They spend most of their time foraging for food and grooming each other.

They are omnivorous, eating fruits, leaves, insects, and small animals.

They are very vocal, using a wide variety of sounds to communicate with each other.

Males have a brightly colored, swollen muzzle and prominent, ridged brows, which are used in courtship displays and dominance displays.

They are intelligent primates and have been observed using tools in the wild.
