 The ferocious appearance of the mandrill is misleading. By nature, it is quite peaceable and social. The brilliant coloring of the male's face distinguishes it from the plainer female.

 |  |  | Guest |  |  | The Mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) is a primate of the Cercopithecidae (Old-world monkeys) family, closely related to the baboons and even more closely to the Drill. Both the Mandrill and the Drill were once classified as baboons in genus Papio, but recent research has determined that they should be separated into their own genus, Mandrillus. The Mandrill is the world's largest species of monkey. The word mandrill means "man-ape". |  |  |  | Guest |  |  | Scientific Name:	Mandrillus sphinx (Linnaeus, 1758) Common Names:	Mandrill; [Spanish] Mandril
