Mandrill Monkey Left Nail Replica

Description

Mandrill monkey left front nail replica measures 0.7 x 0.28 x 0.10 inches. The Mandrillus sphinx left front nail is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast of a California Academy of Sciences specimen. 1:1 scale. Made in USA.

The mandrill has olive green or dark grey fur. This fur has yellow and black bands. The monkey also has a white belly.

Its hairless face has a long snout with unique features. A bright red stripe runs down the middle of the muzzle. Raised blue ridges stick out on both sides of the face. The monkey also has red nostrils, lips, a yellow beard, and white tufts.

The mandrill belongs to the Old World monkey family. They have flat nails on its fingers and toes. The nail on the big toe is important. Scientists call this big toe the hallux.

In mandrills, the big toe diverges from the other toes. This layout allows the hind foot to grasp tree branches tightly while swinging from tree to tree within the canopies.

The flat nail provides a rigid surface. This structure increases touch sensitivity and helps the mandrill climb trees and grasp food.
