Monkey type (6)
I believe the answer is:
baboon
'monkey type' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for baboon that I've seen before include "Stupid person" , "Large primate" , "A large one of 17 across" , "wild swinger?" , "Large monkey with a doglike muzzle" .)
