The Mandrill
Living in the remote forests of western central Africa, the mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) is notoriously elusive and has evaded scientific scrutiny for decades. Yet, it is the largest and most sexually dimorphic of all the Old World monkeys, and perhaps the most colourful of all the mammals. Synthesising the results of more than twenty-five years of research, this is the first extensive treatment of the mandrill's reproductive and behavioural biology. Dixson explores in detail the role that sexual selection has played in shaping the mandrill's evolution, covering mechanisms of mate choice, intra-sexual competition, sperm competition and cryptic female choice. Bringing to life, through detailed descriptions and rich illustrations, the mandrill's communicatory biology and the functions of its brightly coloured adornments, this book sheds new light on the evolutionary biology of this fascinating primate.
Mandrill
Across the bottomless chasm of time, they gazed hypnotically at each other - the captive mandrill, last wild species of the baboon on earth, and the fanatic scientist at the controls of his monstrous 1990s computer. Out of some deathless memory, could the mandrill reveal the macabre truth of man's origins? Then, from the computer's voice unit issued a stream of flat, fitted-together words. And from the mists of prehistory, the mandrill began to speak.
Mandrill
The flash of color in an African rain forest might not be what you expect. Mandrills have bright faces with long, red noses and blue and cheeks (not to mention the colorful cheeks on their rears). Whether they are tiny babies clinging to the mothers or adult monkeys yawning at threats, mandrills are awesome! Learn all about the largest member of the monkey family.

Does being large always mean you’re in charge? The big mandrill monkey is currently endangered. The much smaller marmoset, on the other hand, is not in such a dire situation. With such engaging details as well as fun photographs of the monkeys in their natural habitats, comparing species has never been more entertaining or educational.
