Description
The Mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) is a primate of the Cercopithecidae (Old-world monkeys) family, closely related to the baboons and to the Drill. Both the Mandrill and the Drill were once classified as baboons in genus Papio, but in my usual search to discover information it seems recent research has determined that they should be separated into their own genus, Mandrillus. The Mandrill is the world's largest monkey species. The word mandrill means "man-ape".
The Mandrill is recognized by its olive-coloured fur and colourful face and rump amongst males, a colouration that grows stronger with sexual maturity; females such as this one taken at the Zoo in Antwerp recently have duller colours
