Mandrillus sphinx

love this photo.. had to do a layout
the beginning gives the common name, scientific name, class, order, genus, species, then my journaling:

No matter what you call him, he is beautiful. the colors on his face are so bright. i love this picture. it's almost as if you can feel the softness of his fur. i took this picture on a recent trip to the Houston Zoo. He was sitting there as if all the people gawking at him were just leaves on a tree. I'm grateful he sat still long enough for me to get this shot of him. i call him animalus beautifulis.
