  1. baboon of west Africa with a bright red and blue muzzle and blue hindquarters

Word origin

From man + drill (“Mandrillus leucophaeus”). Displaced earlier English man-tiger. First attested in 1744.

Used in a sentence

  • For the Mandrills live in society, and their bands are so powerful in point of numbers, and so crafty in point of management, that they are about as formidable neighbours as could be imagined.
  • In both mandrills and drills, males have long muzzles with pronounced maxillary ridges and long tooth rows. Like baboons, mandrills and drills have forelimbs and hindlimbs of nearly equal length.
  • Mandrills occur in Gabon, Congo, Rio Muni and in Cameroon, to the south of the Sanaga River.
