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 [[Sexual dimorphism|sexually dimorphic]], as males have a larger body, longer canine teeth and brighter coloring. Mandrills mainly live in [[tropical rainforest]]s but will also travel across [[savanna]]s. They<!-- replaced with pronoun to avoid using "Mandrills" as the subject at the start of two consecutive sentences --> live in large, stable groups known as "hordes" which can contain hundreds of individuals<!-- conform with article body to avoid suggesting that there may be hundreds of hordes, which may be true but does not appear to be the intended meaning -->. Females form the core of these groups, while adult males are solitary and only reunite with the larger groups during the breeding season. Dominant males have the most vibrant colors and fattest flanks and rumps. The mandrill is classified as [[Vulnerable species|vulnerable]] on the [[IUCN Red List]]. Its biggest threats are [[habitat destruction]] and hunting for [[bushmeat]]. Gabon<!-- extant countries generally not linked in blurbs --> is considered the stronghold for the species. Its habitat has declined in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea, while its range in the Republic of the Congo is limited. {{TFAFULL|Mandrill}}
