Description
I took this photo of a Mandrill yawning! I'd hate to see him when he's mad! The Mandrill is the world's largest species of monkey. Both the mandrill and the drill were once classified as baboons, but recent research has determined they should be separated into their own genus, Mandrillus.

Thank you very much Mary! I stuck around for a while and about every 15 minutes or so he'd do a huge yawn!

Right moment, right timing. How long did you have to wait patiently for this shot? Wonderful!
