The difference between Shankui and Mandrill is: Shankui is said to be a kind of monster, while Mandrill is the largest monkey-like primate in the world.
Shankui: The ancient books of Shankui record a monster with a big head and a short tail, and a height of one or more feet. Firecrackers are set off during the Spring Festival to scare it away.
Mandrill: The mandrill is the largest monkey primate in the world. The head is large and long, with a bony protrusion on each side of the nose bone. There are ridges arranged longitudinally on it, with grooves between the ridges, green skin on the outside, and bright red between the ridges. The male has approximately 6 major furrows on each side, with the red portion extending over the nasal bones and around the nose. This colorful special pattern looks like a ghost, so it is called a mandrill.
