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]
[83] [84] Instead, the long snouts may facilitate better chewing. [84] Lemurs generally have a wet nose, or rhinarium, as well as a longer snout than anthropoid primates. The wet nose, or rhinarium, is a trait shared with other strepsirrhines and many other mammals, but not with haplorrhine primates. [51]

The golden snub-nosed monkey[3] (Rhinopithecus roxellana) is an Old World monkey in the subfamily Colobinae. [3] It is endemic to a small area in temperate, mountainous forests of central and Southwest China. [4] They inhabit these mountainous forests of Southwestern China at elevations of 1,500–3,400 m (4,900–11,200 ft) above sea level. [5]
Until recently, they were thought to have descended directly from the diverse group of adapiforms due to several shared postcranial traits, [14] as well as long snouts and small brains. Although adapiforms also had lemur-like auditory bullae, a prosimian characteristic, [15] they had smaller brains and longer snouts than lemurs. [16]
