Four Exeter Chiefs rugby players are showing a wilder side of themselves than usual in a TV and photo commercial for Paignton Zoo
Matt Jess, Fetu Vainkolo, and Sam and Justin Blanchet were decorated with body paint in animal markings to turn them into a mandrill, an antelope, a cheetah and a zebra.
The zoo sponsors the club and says the concepts of 'survival of the fittest' and natural selection applies to both the animal kingdom and the competitive world of rugby.
