Male Mandrillus monkeys would disperse from this group when old enough and join other groups only during mating season.
The mandrill has a stocky body with a large head and muzzle, as well as a short and stumpy tail. [19] The limbs are evenly sized and the fingers and toes are more elongated than those in baboons, [20] with a more opposable big toe on the feet.
