    The mandrill lives in large stable groups of hundreds in forests and savannas of west-central Africa. They are classified as vulnerable due to habitat destruction and hunting. Males have the brightest colors and largest size to attract mates, while females remain in core groups except during breeding season when males join.

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

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