I went to the Denver Zoo Sunday afternoon and was happy to find that many of the animals were very amenable to posing for portraits, even the elusive mandrill in the photograph above. Most of the time, this mandrill hides in its cage or behind the trees in its yard. I was therefore shocked when it walked right up to the front of the compound and looked me straight in the eye, posing for the above photo. It must have been the nice weather which put him in a good mood. Either that or they are starting to give the animals a bit of (in Colorado, anyway) legal marijuana to cheer them up a bit. A good idea, considering how depressed most of these zoo animals look most of the time.
