In fact, the monkey would almost surely type every possible finite text an infinite number of times.
The mandrill is the most sexually dimorphic primate, [22] and it is the largest monkey. [23] Females are less stocky and have shorter, flatter snouts. [19] Males have a 70–95 cm (28–37 in) head-body length and weigh 19–30 kg (42–66 lb) while females have a 55–70 cm (22–28 in) head-body length and weigh 10–15 kg (22–33 lb). [24]
