Mandrills are very devoted and attentive mothers. They groom their babies, tirelessly protect them, and provide nourishment for them through milk. While most of the infant care comes from the mother, other members of the baby’s family including aunts, sisters, cousins and sometimes even the father will take turns grooming, carrying, and playing with them.
This species can be found in a small range in west central Africa. Their population is declining at a dangerous pace due to the loss of their forest habitat, as well as intensive hunting for meat, which is highly prized by people in certain areas. They are protected under CITES and the African convention, but more protection for mandrills and their habitat is needed for this species to survive in the long term.
