Mandrillus
Mandrillus is a genus of large Old World monkeys distributed throughout central and southern Africa, consisting of two species: "M. sphinx" and "M. leucophaeus", the mandrill and drill, respectively. "Mandrillus", originally placed under the genus "Papio" as a type of baboon, is closely related to the genus "Cercocebus". They are characterised by their large builds, elongated snouts with furrows on each side, and stub tails. Both species occupy the west central region of Africa and live primarily on the ground. They are frugivores, consuming both meat and plants, with a preference for plants. "M. sphinx" is classified as vulnerable and "M. leucophaeus" as endangered on the "IUCN Red List of Threatened Species".
