It is hard to guess what a Collared mangabey weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Collared mangabey (Cercocebus torquatus) on average weights 7.29 kg (16.08 lbs).
The Collared mangabey is from the family Cercopithecidae (genus: Cercocebus). It is usually born with about 265 grams (0.58 lbs). They can live for up to 30 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 66 cm (2′ 2″). Usually, Collared mangabeys 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 collared mangabey (Cercocebus torquatus), also known as the red-capped mangabey, or the white-collared mangabey (leading to easy confusion with Cercocebus atys lunulatus), is a species of primate in the family Cercopithecidae of Old World monkeys. It formerly included the sooty mangabey as a subspecies. As presently defined, the collared mangabey is monotypic.
