How much does a Iberian ibex weight?

It is hard to guess what a Iberian ibex weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Iberian ibex (Capra pyrenaica) on average weights 60.55 kg (133.49 lbs).

The Iberian ibex is from the family Bovidae (genus: Capra). They can live for up to 16 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 1.2 meter (4′ 0″). Usually, Iberian ibexs have 1 babies per litter.

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 Iberian ibex, Spanish ibex, Spanish wild goat, or Iberian wild goat (Capra pyrenaica) is a species of ibex with four subspecies. Of these, two can still be found on the Iberian Peninsula, but the remaining two are now extinct. The Portuguese subspecies became extinct in 1892 and the Pyrenean subspecies became extinct in 2000. An ongoing project to clone to the Pyrenean subspecies resulted in one clone being born alive in July 2003. This is the first taxon to become “un-extinct”, although the clone died a few minutes after birth due to physical defects in lungs.
