Big Male Mandrill Tool Use Monkey Ape

Very rare video shows tool use in the mandrill monkey. The first portion of the video shows a male mandrill using a rock as a tool. He is using it to hit the glass and wood. He may be using it to make a hole and escape, or to knock something out of the wood. Videos of tool use in mandrills may not exist and it may have not been reported whether they use tools. This may be the first video of tool use in the mandrill. In the second portion of the video, he searches for sticks. Finally he finds a large one and appears to use it to probe the fence a little. After this, he bites off a portion. Video shows his large teeth and coloration. The canine teeth may be 2 inches long. Chimpanzees and humans also use stones and rocks for tools. The Mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) is a primate belonging to the Cercopithecidae (Old-world monkeys) family, and closely related to the baboons and even more closely to the Drill. Both the Mandrill and the Drill were classified as baboons in genus Papio, but research has determined they should have their own genus, Mandrillus. The Mandrill is the world's largest kind of monkey. The word mandrill means "man-ape" according to the Oxford English Dictionary. They are famous for their bright colors. They are almost human sized. The males can weight up to 110 lbs. They can live for over 30 years. They eat about anything including some meat that they kill. Mothers bond with daughters, but males leave on maturity.

The Mandrill is found in the tropical rainforests and occasionally woodlands of southern Cameroon, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and Congo.
