Young Drill

Not the best of pictures (reflection proved a challenge) but this is the youngest member of the Drill group. 23/11/2013

Looks like this one's a male... I guess they now have 1.2+2(=5) and that the second female still hasn't bred there(yet) or is that wrong?

Still a very nice image.

Thank you

I *May* have got this wrong.. (and please correct me if I have!) but I'm sure I only remember 1.1, the previous daughter from that pair and this new baby from my November visit so possible female two has died or left the collection??

Are Drill and Mandrill the same?

Drill -
Mandrillus leucophaeus (Drill)

Mandrill -
Mandrillus sphinx (Mandrill)

They are actually two different species. The mandrill, though vulnerable in the wild, is more common than the endangered drill. The mandrill is also more common in zoos and if I can remember correctly, the drill population in captivity aren't doing so well.

Thanks Pacarana.
