In Franceville of Gabon, Delphine Verrier shares her surroundings with about 200 mandrills. Each day, this veterinarian strives to maintain the health of the population, as well as understand the social functioning of this magnificent primate with the bright-coloured muzzle.
Fascinated by mandrills, Delphine discovered the CIRMF, or International Centre for Medical Research in Franceville, which is also home to the Primatology Centre. The CIRMF mandrill colony was created in 1983 with the introduction of fifteen orphan mandrills from females that had been killed by hunters.
These mandrills live in a natural enclosure of tropical forest covering eight hectares and have reproduced over the years. Today, this enclosure hosts the world's biggest colony of mandrills living in semi-liberty.
