justification : listed as endangered because its extent of occurrence is less than 5 , 000 km2 , all individuals are in fewer than five locations , and there is continuing decline in the extent and quality of its habitat on the western cordillera of the colombian andes .
this species is known only from the region of the type locality in cloud forest on the western slope of the andes in extreme southern colombia . it is presumed to extend into adjacent ecuador but has not yet been recorded there . it ranges from 1 , 700 - 2 , 020m asl .
it is nocturnal , and is usually found on medium to high vegetation along side streams inside primary forest . breeding is by direct development .
there are no major threats to the habitat at the type locality at present , but there is pressure from local people to convert the current protected area to land for agriculture and cattle farming .
the only known locality is within la planada natural reserve . continued management and maintenance of this protected area is essential to ensure the long - term survival of this species , particularly given its dependence upon good forest . further survey work is needed to establish the current population status of this species , and to determine if it occurs outside the vicinity of the type locality .

the diana monkey ( cercopithecus diana ) is an old world monkey found in west africa , from sierra leone to côte d'ivoire .

the diana monkey ranges from 40 to 55 cm in length , excluding its tail , which is of a uniform 3 – 4 cm diameter and 50 – 75 cm long .

adults weigh between 4 – 7 kg .

individual diana monkeys may live for up to 20 years .

they are generally black or dark grey , but have a white throat , crescent-shaped browband , ruff and beard ; the browband gave the species its common name , since it was held to resemble the crescent on the brow of the goddess diana .

the monkeys ' underarms are also white , and they have a white stripe down their thighs , while the backs of their thighs , and their lower backs , are a chestnut colour .

apart from the browband , ruff and beard , and some fringes on their limbs , their fur is short and sleek in appearance .

like most primates , diana monkeys can always carry diseases that can be communicated to humans , like yellow fever and tuberculosis , but they are not important carriers of these .

the species is regarded as vulnerable by the iucn as well as by the united states fish and wildlife service , the chief dangers to them being habitat destruction ( they are now virtually confined to coastal areas ) and hunting for bushmeat .

two taxa formerly considered subspecies of the diana monkey have recently been elevated to full species status : the roloway monkey ( c. roloway ) is found in côte d'ivoire and ghana , and the dryas monkey ( c. dryas ) found in the dr congo .

diana monkey

diana monkey keeps the mouth open and bobs its head when it is threatened .
the diana superspecies is divided into two species : the diana monkey ( cercopithecus diana diana ) and the roloway monkey ( cercopithecus diana roloway ) , though their taxonomy is unresolved . this primate group is considered to be one of the world ' s most colorful in which the roloway monkey is distinguished from the diana by having a longer beard , wider brow line and narrower face mask .
diana monkey has slender body , long legs and long tail , shaped like question mark .
diana monkey is an arboreal animal that spends most of its life on the trees . it rarely descends to the ground .
diana monkey is a primate that belongs to the group of old world monkeys . it can be found in west africa . diana monkey inhabits primary , mature tropical rainforests . number of diana monkeys in the wild is decreasing due to high demand for their meat on the local market , accelerated habitat destruction and civil wars in liberia and sierra leone . diana monkey is listed as vulnerable , which means that it can become endangered in the near future .
diana monkey can reach 16 to 24 inches in length and 8 to 12 pounds of weight . males are much larger than females .
diana monkey does not construct nests in the trees . it hides high in the treetops during the night to ensure protection against predators .
name
diana
originates from the white fur above the brows that looks like a bow of diana , roman goddess of hunt .
did you know ? that this species is called
diana monkey
because the distinctive white oblique stripe across the thigh is thought to resemble a bow , which was associated with diana , the roman goddess of the hunt .
diana monkey lives in groups ( called troops ) of 5 to 50 animals . each group consists of one adult male and large number of females with their offspring .
diana monkey is an omnivore ( it eats plants and meat ) . its diet is based on fruit and insects . it occasionally consumes flowers , young leaves and invertebrates .
roloway monkey . pp . 313 - 314 in t butynski , j kingdon , j kalina , eds .
diana monkeys can carry and spread diseases like yellow fever and tuberculosis ( macdonald 1984 ) .
the diana monkey ( cercopithecus diana ) is an endangered species and the eastern subspecies , the roloway monkey ( cercopithecus diana roloway ) , is even classified as critically endangered . the main risks that all west african forest primates are facing are habitat destruction and commercial hunting with traps , snares and guns . due to commercial logging and often uncontrolled deforestation roads and trails are cut deep into the rain forest . these are used by poachers to transport and dispense the
bushmeat
into larger and more distant towns .
the sub - species are geographically separated from one another : the diana monkey occurs in côte d ' ivoire only west of the river sassandra with a range extending as far as sierra leone , whereas the roloway monkey has an even more limited distribution . it is found in southeastern côte d ' ivoire from the river sassandra to southwestern ghana .
diana monkeys’ numbers are decreasing in all of their ranges due to loss of habitat and hunting .
body is covered with short , sleek dark grey or black fur . diana monkey has crescent - shaped patch of white fur on the forehead and white fur on the beard , cheeks , throat , under the arms and on the thighs .
diana monkeys are used for food , pets , and in medical research ( macdonald 1984 , lawlor 1979 ) .
diana monkeys have black faces , short white beards , and white chests . their coats are black and grizzled grey , with russet - red inner thighs and rump , and a long black tail . the males are larger than the females . they also have a white brow , from which they get their name . they were named after the greek goddess diana , the archer . the curved white mark on the diana monkey’s brow was thought to represent the shape of the goddess’ bow .
diana monkeys are very vocal , and in the wild they have unique alarm calls for different types of predators . researchers have found that diana monkeys’ alarm calls are also useful to other animals in the forest ! when diana monkeys warn of a predator , other species such as the yellow - casqued hornbill listen and take appropriate action . diana monkeys and campbell’s monkeys have been found to associate with one another in the wild , and understand each other’s alarm vocalizations as well .
diana monkeys are omnivorous , eating fruits , flowers , young leaves , insects and invertebrates ( grzimck 1990 , macdonald 1984 ) .
diana monkeys are part of a european endangered species programme ( eep ) , in which all the animals in european zoos are managed by a coordinator and a species committee . the animals are listed in a studbook , ( similar to a pedigree ) and their genetic status is studied to ensure that unrelated animals are paired together . edinburgh zoo is the coordinator for the diana monkey eep and also holds the international studbook for the species .
diana monkeys dwell in upper levels of primeval forest trees . they sleep in trees in closed forest canopies , and never make nests .
life in a group increases the chances for survival . diana monkeys quickly identify threats and produce various calls to inform other members of the group about upcoming danger . some other species of monkeys often live close to diana monkeys because of these beneficial
alarm
calls .
diana monkeys ( cercopithecus diana ) are found in the west african countries of ivory coast , liberia , sierra leone and guinea . they prefer to inhabit primary rainforest and do not do well in disturbed or secondary forest , so the destruction of their habitat has a major effect on their future survival . diana monkeys are active during the day , and rarely come down to the ground from the forest canopy . groups typically include a single adult male and several females and their infants .

( on - line ) , animal diversity web . accessed july 09 , 2018 at urltoken
the coloration in general becomes more pronounced as the monkey becomes excited and is likely to be an example of sexual selection . the coloration on the rump is thought to enhance visibility in the thick vegetation of the rainforest and aid in group movement .
some protection within several national parks such as bia forest reserve in ghana and tiwai island , sierra leone . there is a european endangered species programme ( eep ) for this monkey as well as careful management of the captive zoo population world - wide .
cercopithecus diana and c . roloway comprise the diana species group . in the 2008 iucn red list these were treated as subspecies ( c . d . diana and c . d . roloway ) of a broader species - concept following kingdon ( 1997 ) and grubb et al . ( 2003 ) . groves ( 2005 ) elevated both subspecies to full species and that treatment is now followed here ( mittermeier 2013 ) . this is an updated assessment to reflect the promotion of the nominate subspecies to species - level and the inclusion of information previously contained within the former species - level assessment .
these conditions have allowed the commercial
bushmeat
trade to increase dramatically , with several thousand tons sold on urban markets every year . also other mammals such as duikers and pangolins are affected by the
bushmeat problem
. ex situ breeding programmes established under an international studbook ( 1988 ) , which ensure the survival of the species at least in zoos combined with in situ conservation activities in west africa could prevent the extinction of the diana monkey and other endangered primates .
. in recent studies , roloway monkeys have been considered a distinct species . there is no published research comparing the genetics of roloway and diana monkeys . few studies have been conducted on roloway monkeys in the wild .
is cites - appendix i ; us esa - endangered , iucn - vulnerable ( wilson and reeder 1993 ) . diana monkeys are seriously threatened by hunting and by destruction of forests ( grzimck 1990 ) . one subspecies ,
diana monkeys have a polygynous mating system . courtship is short , since mates are usually familiar with each other . the female presents her rump prior to copulation in an appeasement gesture to signal readiness and vulnerability ( vaughan 1986 ) .
diana monkeys first came to edinburgh zoo in 1974 . although the original animals are no longer with us , we currently have a young pair , the male of which was born here and we are hoping will form a breeding pair .
diana monkeys reach sexual maturity at the age of 3 years . males leave their native groups and join another troop . females stay in their native groups until the end of their lives . bond between mother and her daughters is very strong and lasts for a lifetime .
this is a noisy , slender , elegant monkey with striking colouration with a black and white face , a white beard and chest and distinctive patches of bright chestnut on its back and hind limbs . it is an excellent climber and spends most of its time in the upper canopy of the trees but will come down to the ground to feed .
roloway monkey populations appear to have experienced a large decline in the past few decades and are considered one of the most endangered monkey species in the world . populations are under pressure due to habitat degradation caused by logging and crop production , as well as illegal poaching . it is estimated that the population in ghana has dropped below 1 , 000 . many reserves and parks have supported populations of roloway monkeys in the past , but those populations have been eradicated recently . there have been a few community projects aimed at education and conservation and an endangered species program in europe has been established for this species . nonetheless , roloway monkeys have been moved from critically endangered in 2000 to endangered in 2008 on the iucn red list .
mandrill ( mandrillus sphinx ) is an old world monkey ( family cercopithecidae ) , characterized by large size , long limbs , stubby upright tail , light brown or olive - colored fur , and , in males , a bright red nose bordered by blue as well as a red and blue rump , with duller colors in females . the mandrill is the world ' s largest species of monkey . it is one of only two species in the genus mandrillus , the other being the drill ( mandrillus leucophaeus ) . the mandrill is closely related to the baboons and was once classified together with them in the genus papio . the word
mandrill
means
man - ape .
mandrills are found in tropical rainforests of west africa ( grzimek et al . 2004 ) .
diana monkeys breed seasonally . they are polyestrus , with an approximately 31 day cycle . the gestation period lasts 5 months ( cockrum 1962 ) . females give birth to one or rarely two young at a time . the young are weaned at about six months and reach sexual maturity at about three years ( grzimek 1990 ) .
diana monkeys are able to reproduce all year round . pregnancy in females lasts 5 months and ends with single baby ( infant ) . females produce offspring each year . babies are born with open eyes and they cling to their mothers from the moment of birth . mothers are very protective and possessive toward their babies while they are small and vulnerable .
diana monkeys belong to the cheek - pouch monkeys . they are an agile , long - limbed species with strongly contrasting colours and pattern . females are 40 - 48cm high , their weight is 2 . 2 - 3 . 5kg , the males are 50 - 60cm high with a weight of 3 . 5 - 7 . 5 kg . tails can exceed 80cm .
justification : listed as vulnerable as this species has lost a considerable amount of primary habitat over the past ~ 30 years and in combination with the effects of hunting is presumed to have undergone a decline of 30 % or more over this time - frame . this species is not as heavily impacted as c . roloway ( which was previously treated as a subspecies within a broader concept of c . diana ) .
is arboreal and diurnal . diana monkeys are social , living in groups of 15 to 30 individuals with a single adult male . these monkeys communicate with one another with calls and visual cues . the well developed facial muscles along with the coloration allow a wide range of facial expressions for communication . these monkeys may
grin
in appeasement to dominating individuals ( vaughan 1986 ) . their vocal communication includes general vocalizations , alarm and contact calls .
roloway monkeys are one of the largest guenons , very similar in appearance to diana monkeys . both have a dark grey body with a crimson patch on their lower back , red on their inner thigh , and a light stripe down the exterior part of their thigh . beige to light orange fur runs down their chest , extending midway down the arms and up the ears and chin . roloway monkeys have a more pronounced beige strip across their forehead and a longer beard . the crimson patch extends higher up the back , they lack ear tufts , and their inner thigh is lighter in color . their tails are longer than their body and they are in the group of monkeys that possess cheek pouches to store food . roloway monkey skulls are relatively flat and without an elongated rostrum . they have nostrils that are only slightly separated and pointing downward . they have nails on all digits and possess opposable thumbs . roloway monkeys are sexually dimorphic ; males have a larger body size and larger canines than females . the dental formula : i 2 / 2 c 1 / 1 p 2 / 2 m 3 / 3 = 32 . roloway monkeys have 2n = 58 chromosomes .
mandrills are old world monkeys , which , along with apes of the old world , comprise one of the three major informal groups of the biological order primates , the other two groups being prosimians and new world monkeys . together , the new world monkeys and the old world monkeys and apes are considered to be
higher primates ,
or simians ( infraorder similformes ) , while the prosimians ( such as lemurs ) are considered to be the
lower primates .
the term monkey , thus , refers to any simian that is not an ape or any primate that is neither an ape or a prosimian . in reality , monkeys are not a single coherent group and therefore do not have any particular traits that they all share .

ranges from 40 to 55 cm in length , with a long tail 50 to 75 cm long . the coloration is extremely variable . these primates are generally black , with a white throat , ruff , pointed beard , and anterior side of arms . a white stripe runs down the thighs ( kingdon 1989 ) . the posterior back and thighs are red - brown to orange ( grzimek 1990 ) .
is catarrhine , with the nostrils close together and facing downward . the nail on each digit is flattened . the hallux and pollex are opposable . prominant calluses , or ischial callosities , are present on the rump . the dental formula is 2 / 2 , 1 / 1 . 2 / 2 , 3 / 3 = 32 ( vaughan 1986 ) .
breeding interval because these animals breed seasonally , and given the long period of infant dependence , it is likely that females are only bale to produce once per year .
breeding season copulations are probably times so that the young are born at the period of maximum food availability .
the young are relatively well developed at birth , with open eyes and the capability to grasp the mother and support their own weight ( macdonald 1984 ) . females nurse and care for their offspring for about six months . daughters stay with their mothers as long as they live , whereas males leave the natal group near the time of adolescence ( macdonald 1984 ) .
the young play constantly , learning to be agile and swift in the trees . ( urltoken )
as in all primates , communication is likely to be varied and complex . facial expression and body postures are some of the visual cues primates use to communicate mood and intent . vocalizations are common in primates . tactile communication is important in social bonding and maintenance of relationships . grooming , mating , and caring for young are all very tactile .
as is common in other forest monkeys , predators are likely to include leopards , snakes , and birds of prey .
as a prey species , these monkeys are likely to have an impact on predator populations . as fruit eaters , they are likely to help disperse seeds .
living in sub - saharan africa ( south of 30 degrees north ) and madagascar .
having body symmetry such that the animal can be divided in one plane into two mirror - image halves . animals with bilateral symmetry have dorsal and ventral sides , as well as anterior and posterior ends . synapomorphy of the bilateria .
animals that use metabolically generated heat to regulate body temperature independently of ambient temperature . endothermy is a synapomorphy of the mammalia , although it may have arisen in a ( now extinct ) synapsid ancestor ; the fossil record does not distinguish these possibilities . convergent in birds .
forest biomes are dominated by trees , otherwise forest biomes can vary widely in amount of precipitation and seasonality .
offspring are produced in more than one group ( litters , clutches , etc . ) and across multiple seasons ( or other periods hospitable to reproduction ) . iteroparous animals must , by definition , survive over multiple seasons ( or periodic condition changes ) .
the area in which the animal is naturally found , the region in which it is endemic .
rainforests , both temperate and tropical , are dominated by trees often forming a closed canopy with little light reaching the ground . epiphytes and climbing plants are also abundant . precipitation is typically not limiting , but may be somewhat seasonal .
the region of the earth that surrounds the equator , from 23 . 5 degrees north to 23 . 5 degrees south .
reproduction in which fertilization and development take place within the female body and the developing embryo derives nourishment from the female .

this species is found in the forests of upper guinea in west africa , ranging from coastal southeastern guinea to sierra leone , liberia , southern côte d ' ivoire ( west of the sassandra river ) .
it appears to be a rare and declining species throughout the majority of its range .
this largely arboreal species occurs in the canopy of primary and old secondary lowland moist forest , and riverine and gallery forest . it is rare in degraded forest , but it appears that it can survive in lightly logged forest where the canopy remains .
this species is generally threatened by hunting and habitat degradation and loss . the relatively large size of this species and the value of its meat and skin makes it a preferred game species . large - scale deforestation in the region , through logging , conversion to agricultural land and charcoal production , continues to reduce the habitat available to this species ( mcgraw 1998 ) .
this species is listed on appendix i of cites and on class a of the african convention on the conservation of nature and natural resources . the species occurs on mt . nimba , part of which is a designated world heritage site . to protect this primate there is a need to protect large areas of mature forest from logging and conversion to agricultural land .

roloway monkeys are found living in groups in western africa , ranging from the pra river in ghana to east of the sassandra river in the ivory coast . they have also been reported as far east as kakum in ghana .
roloway monkeys are arboreal primates found in mature forests . they inhabit first - and second - growth deciduous forests and lowland moist forests . in captivity , roloway monkeys prefer an environment that provides elevated habitat . in the wild , they also prefer to navigate tree top habitats . some populations show a preference for mangroves such as
. mangroves are located away from the pressures of human populations and allow the monkeys to gather in larger groups because mangroves offer a constant supply of food , water , and protection .
( bi , et al . , 2013 ; curtin , 2002 ; kingdon , 1997 ; oates , 1988 ; wiafe , 2013 )
there are few body measurements of adult roloway monkeys ; available measurements are from unknown sexes or unknown life stages .
have body lengths of 440 to 450 mm in adult females and 525 to 615 mm in adult males . they have a tail length of 700 to 725 mm in adult females and 800 to 901 mm in adult males .
little is known about the mating system of roloway monkeys . the closely related species ,
have a polygynous mating system . their groups consist of one male with many females and their offspring . roloway groups have a similar group structure , consisting of one dominant adult male and multiple adult females with their offspring . this may suggest that roloway monkeys have a polygynous mating system similar to
little is known about reproduction of this species in the wild . species in the genus
don ' t have a specific breeding season and breeding may be influenced by environmental factors .
species have a regular estrus cycle lasting , on average , 30 days . single births are most common and twins are rare .
breeding season breeding season in roloway monkeys is not reported in the literature . they may breed year - round .
offspring are born with their eyes open . their deciduous incisors grow in early and the milk teeth are present at 20 months . adult teeth begin to grow at just over 2 years of age . it may take over a year for all adult teeth to come in and adult canines come in as the individual reaches sexual maturity . mothers care for their offspring . female offspring stay with the group while male offspring disperse .
there have been no long term studies conducted on wild populations of roloway monkeys . the oldest animal in captivity lived for 31 years .
roloway monkeys are diurnal and arboreal quadrupeds . when traveling through the forest , they take the most direct route , rather than jump from branch to branch . groups range from 6 to 22 individuals , consisting of one dominant male and multiple females and their young . they use vocalization and body posture to communicate . roloway monkeys spend a considerable amount of time grooming . at a young age , roloway monkeys are gentle and unassertive . as they become older and stronger , they become more assertive . in captivity , roloway monkeys behave in ways similar to wild populations when their enclosures provide tree - like habitat that mimics canopy . roloway monkeys have been observed at densities of 1 . 53 groups per square kilometer in forests of ghana and 0 . 38 groups per square kilometer in forests of ivory coast .
species generate croaks and chuckles . roloway monkeys also produce loud , long yells . they produce warning calls in response to disturbances .
roloway monkeys obtain food from various epiphytic species and large trees . they feed primarily on insects , but also eat seeds and pulp of mature fruits and leaves . insect foraging can last over an hour in a group . in the bia national forest , feeding on insects and leaves starts at the end of the dry season and peaks in the wet season . meanwhile , feeding on mature fruit pulp and seeds peaks in the dry season , where fruits provide both nutrients and moisture .
and large birds of prey . roloway monkeys have a non - cryptic color pattern ; they rely heavily on warning calls and predator recognition to avoid predation . human predators have the largest influence on these primates ; they pressure the population through habitat loss from logging and farming , as well as hunting with shotguns and wire snares .
not a lot is known about the impact of roloway monkeys on the ecosystems they inhabit . they may impact seed dispersal through their predation on fruits .
roloway monkeys have no known negative effect on humans . there is no evidence of them being disease or pathogen vectors . roloway monkeys are not known to cause crop damage and they are not aggressive .

as with other taxa , mandrills provide a larger function for the ecosystem and humans while also advancing their own individual function of survival , self - maintenance , and reproduction . ecologically , they play a role in food chains in their rainforest environment , consuming vegetative materials ( fruits , seeds , roots , and so forth ) and various invertebrates ( insects , snails , worms ) and vertebrates ( snakes , frogs , and so on ) , while being consumed by leopards and other large predators . it is likely that they also play a role in seed dispersal ( ingmarsson 1999 ) . for humans , they serve as a source of bushmeat , but also are popular attractions in zoos or on ecotours , given their colorful appearance , long lifespan , and unique behaviors . remarkably , they also are very adept at removing articles from visitors of zoos , such as glasses or pipes .
at one point , mandrills were grouped in the genus papio with baboons , the drill , and the gelada ( genus theropithecus ) , but recent research has determined that the mandrill and drill should be separated into their own genus , mandrillus . however , these monkeys are still often referred to as baboons in everyday speech .
the mandrill is recognized by its grizzled light brown or olive - colored fur dorsally , gray - white fur ventrally , and the colorful face and rump of males , a coloration that grows stronger with sexual maturity . in the males , the nose is a bright red and bordered by blue , there are ridged paransal bulges and white whiskers , and the rump is red and blue ( grzimek et al . 2004 ) . females have similar colors but duller , and both sexes have an orange - yellow beard , which is larger in males ( grzimek et al . 2004 ) . the males also have a bright red penis ( grzimek et al . 2004 ) . as another example of sexual dimorphism , the males have much larger canine teeth than females ( grzimek et al . 2004 ) .
mandrills are very large , and the sexual dimorphism seen in the coloration is also exhibited in body size , with males twice as large as the females in weight ( grzimek et al . 2004 ) . males may weight up to 31 . 6 kilograms ( 69 pounds , 11 ounces ) , while females may weight 12 . 9 kilograms ( 28 pounds , 7 ounces ) ( grzimek et al . 2004 ) . unusually large males can weigh 50 kilograms ( 110 pounds ) ( waza 2008 ) . males can grow to about 1 meter in length ( head and body ) , while females may be about half that size . the tails of males and females are short .
the drill ( mandrillus leucophaeus ) is similar in appearance to the mandrill , but lacks the colorful face . it is found only in cameroon , nigeria , north of the sanaga river , and on the coastal island of bioko , part of equatorial guinea . the drill is one of africa ' s most endangered primates .
mandrills are found in the tropical rainforests of southern nigeria , southern cameroon , gabon , equatorial guinea , and congo . their distribution is bounded by the sanaga river to the north and the ogooué and ivindo rivers to the east . recent research suggests that mandrill populations north and south of the ogooué river are genetically so different as to be different sub - species .
mandrills are semi - arboreal and diurnal , sleeping at night in trees and foraging on the ground during the day ( grzimek et al . 2004 ) .
mandrills are social creatures and live in large groups . these large , multimale groups may be aggregates of single - male groups ( grzimek et al . 2004 ) , primarily including females and young and led by a single dominant male . most adult males are solitary . it is difficult to accurately estimate group size in the forest , but filming a group crossing a gap between two forest patches or crossing a road is a reliable way of estimating group size . the largest group verifiably observed in this way contained over 1300 individuals , in lopé national park , gabon .
the mandrill is an omnivore and acquires its food by foraging , generally preferring fruits and seeds , as well as consuming leaves , stems , bark , and fungi , and including in their diet some invertebrates ( insects , snails , worms ) and vertebrates ( generally smaller animals , such as lizards , frogs , and snakes ) . although the mandrill does not normally hunt larger prey , males have been observed to hunt and consume duiker ( a small antelope ) . a large group of mandrills can cause significant damage to crops in a very short time , and where common they are widely perceived as pests .
the mandrill ' s main natural predator is the leopard . mandrills are hunted by humans for food throughout their range , either with guns or using dogs and nets . in cameroon , habitat loss to agriculture is also a threat to their populations .
mandrills are polygamous . small but prominent sexual swellings in the females become bright red as they become maximally swollen near the time of ovulation ( grzimek et al . 2004 ) . during courtship , the male will walk after the female as the female leads . the male will then make little courtship noises , baring his teeth and vocalizing softly . if the female likes what she hears she will orientate her rear towards the male . the male will mount her and they commence copulating . after copulation , the female will depart . the mandrill mates throughout the year during the estrus cycle , which occurs once every 33 days .
the gestation ( pregnancy ) time for the mandrill is 6 to 7 months . mandrill infants are born with their eyes open and with fur . they have a black coat and pink skin for the first two months . they cling to their mother ' s belly immediately and can support their own weight . mothers form bonds with their children . these bonds last into adulthood with the daughters , while the bonds with the sons last only until his sexual maturity . these bonds entail the two sitting with each other and grooming each other .
mandrills can survive up to 31 years in captivity . females reach sexual maturity at about 3 . 5 years .
