Ushindi, a mandrill at the Franklin Park Zoo, shows off his fangs and his quasi-opposable thumbs and big toes. I never realized how much like a tree frog feet mandrill's hands and feet could look when pressed against plexiglass. But here, at Ugly Overload, you learn something new all the time. Even if it's completely useless.

I found out an interesting fact: Neanderthals weren't good runners. Somehow it's nice to know that I could outrace one on the flat short course or the marathon.
