The mandrill is the largest and most colorful of the monkeys. It also has very large canine teeth—about two inches! They do use these fangs for self-defense, but baring them for other mandrills is usually a friendly gesture. When a mandrill is angry, it threatens by slapping the ground, not by threatening to bite.
