Description
When confronted by this startling expression on the mandrill's (Mandrillus sphinx) face, we would indeed hope that a smile is the reason for showing all those long sharp teeth and not something more aggressive. This fellow's golden eyes glow and stare and intimidate. His red, white, and black facial details are dramatic abstracts in themselves. In actuality, this particular facial expression is probably a peaceful form of communication among these animals. The mandrill, an old world primate, was once classified as a baboon but now has its own genus.
