The mandrill has a stocky body with a large head and muzzle, as well as a short and stumpy tail. [19] The limbs are evenly sized and the fingers and toes are more elongated than those in baboons, [20] with a more opposable big toe on the feet. [21] The mandrill is the most sexually dimorphic primate, [22] and it is the largest monkey. [23]
The drill is a short-tailed monkey up to 70 cm (28 in) long, similar in appearance to the mandrill, but lacks the bright blue and red on the face of that species. It has high sexual dimorphism in weight, with males weighing up to 20 kg (44 lb) and females up to 12.5 kg (28 lb). [4] A close-up of face. The body is overall a dark grey-brown.
This is a list of large extant primate species (excluding humans) that can be ordered by average weight or height range.There is no fixed definition of a large primate, it is typically assessed empirically. [1]
Old World monkey genera include baboons (genus Papio), red colobus (genus Piliocolobus), and macaques (genus Macaca). Common names for other Old World monkeys include the talapoin, guenon, colobus, douc (douc langur, genus Pygathrix), vervet, gelada, mangabey (a group of genera), langur, mandrill, drill, surili , patas, and proboscis monkey.
The mandrill displays the most extreme sexual dimorphism for weight among all primates, with a male-female weight ratio of 3.2 – 3.4 at eight to ten years of age. [21] Similarly, drills are one of the most sexually dimorphic primates for body weight, with a male growing up to 32 kg while a female grows to 12 kg.

The humanzee (sometimes chuman, manpanzee or chumanzee) is a hypothetical hybrid of chimpanzee and human, thus a form of human–animal hybrid.Serious attempts to create such a hybrid were made by Soviet biologist Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov in the 1920s, [1] and possibly by researchers in China in the 1960s, though neither succeeded.
