Male Mandrill

Today was the first time I manged to get a photo of this elusive Mandrill.
He is very shy and does not like the presence of people. This morning he seemed too interested in the branch to care.

1/250s f/5.3 at 240.0mm iso2500 full exif

Fantastic capture showing his "coolness". You know you're a bad character when you can get a great portrait while picking your teeth!

His eyes and demeanor are human-like. Fascinating. This is an excellently timed catch. One of your most significant animal images in my opinion. "vVv"
