Field Notes

Notes:

A series of a group of Mandrills in Adelaide Zoo. These guys are native to four countries in western Africa. The alpha male in the first shot is eating fruit out of an iceblock... the mandrill in the second shot was looking wistfully at him and wondering 'how can I get some of that'? Mum and baby in the third and fourth shots were just looking elsewhere!
