Information about the Mandrill:

Mandrill is a primate of the Old World monkey family, closely related to the baboons and even more closely to the drill. It is found in southern Cameroon, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and Congo. Mandrills mostly live in tropical rainforests and forest-savanna mosaics. They live in groups called hordes. Mandrills have an omnivorous diet consisting mostly of fruits and insects. Their mating season takes place from June to October. Both the mandrill and the drill were once classified as baboons in the genus Papio, but recent research has determined that they should be separated into their own genus, Mandrillus. The mandrill is classified as vulnerable by IUCN. It is the largest monkey on the planet.

Fine art illustration of a Mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx.) The illustration is available in black and white or color.

Artist’s notes:

The Mandrill was completed in the summer/fall of 2015. I had been meaning to draw one of these magnificent primates for several years, and had even picked out a reference photo. But when it came time to draw the animal, I decided I would prefer to have the pose include it’s impressive set of teeth. The drawing is based on a photo by Evert Kipp and was used with permission.
