Also known as Mandrillus sphinx

The mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) is a large Old World monkey native to west central Africa. It is one of the most colorful mammals in the world, with red and blue skin on its face and posterior. The species is sexually dimorphic, as males have a larger body, longer canine teeth and brighter coloring. Its closest living relative is the drill, with which it shares the genus Mandrillus. Both species were traditionally thought to be baboons, but further evidence has shown that they are more closely related to white-eyelid mangabeys.

Maximum longevity: 40 years (captivity) Observations: There have been claims of animals living up to 46.3 years (http://pin.primate.wisc.edu/), which is not impossible but has not been verified either. In captivity, the record longevity of this species belongs to one female that was still alive at age 40 (Richard Weigl 2005).
