How much does a mandrill eat and how much?

Mandrills primarily consume a diet of fruits, seeds, and leaves, along with insects and small vertebrates. On average, an adult mandrill may eat about 1.5 to 2.5 kilograms (3 to 5.5 pounds) of food per day, depending on availability and environmental conditions. Their foraging behavior often leads them to consume a wide variety of plant materials and occasional animal protein. This diet supports their energy needs and social behaviors in their natural habitat.
