The largest monkey on earth and possibly the most colorful mammal! Forrest Galante drops some knowledge about the magnificent mandrill. | Animal Planet

2-month-old baby mandrill Izara is growing up! Izara is doing a great job at trying solid foods and practicing filling her little cheek pouches, which is an excellent behavior to see in mandrills her age. (This will serve Izara well as she continues to grow and forage with her troop.) Izara is still spending a lot of time with her mom, Hasina, but has been recently allowed to explore away from mom more. https://www.columbuszoo.org/congo-expedition | Columbus Zoo and Aquarium
