Mandrills are large primates native to the rainforests of Central Africa. They are known for their striking appearance, featuring colorful facial markings and a distinctive blue and red nose. Adult males can weigh up to 110 pounds and are the largest species of baboons. Mandrills live in social groups called troops, which can consist of up to 100 individuals. These animals primarily feed on fruits, seeds, and insects, using their strong jaws to crack open hard shells. Mandrills are also known for their agility and can move quickly through the trees. They play an important role in their ecosystem by helping to disperse seeds.
