It is hard to guess what a Bawean deer weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Bawean deer (Axis kuhlii) on average weights 55 kg (121.25 lbs).
The Bawean deer is from the family Cervidae (genus: Axis). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 1.38 meter (4′ 7″). On average, Bawean deers can have babies 1 times per year with a litter size of 1.
As a reference: An average human weights in at 62 kg (137 lbs) and reaches an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″). Humans spend 280 days (40 weeks) in the womb of their mother and reach around 75 years of age.
The Bawean deer (Hyelaphus kuhlii), also known as Kuhl’s hog deer or Bawean hog deer, is a highly threatened species of deer found only in the island of Bawean (Gresik Regency) in Indonesia.A typical height for males of 60–70 cm has been reported. Males have three-tined antlers.Their fawns are spotted at birth, which separates them from the best known western population of the hog deer (H. porcinus).Due to ongoing habitat loss, small population size and limited range, the Bawean deer is evaluated as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It is listed on Appendix I of CITES. It has few natural enemies except for birds of prey and large snakes such as pythons.
