It is hard to guess what a Thorold’s deer weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Thorold’s deer (Cervus albirostris) on average weights 161 kg (354.94 lbs).
The Thorold’s deer is from the family Cervidae (genus: Cervus). They can live for up to 18 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 65 cm (2′ 2″). Usually, Thorold’s deers 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.
Thorold’s deer (Cervus albirostris) is a threatened species of deer found in grassland, shrubland, and forest at high altitudes in the eastern Tibetan Plateau. It is also known as the white-lipped deer (Baichunlu, 白唇鹿, in Simplified Chinese, ཤྭ་བ་མཆུ་དཀར།་ in Standard Tibetan) for the white patches around its muzzle.This deer fills an ecological niche similar to the Tibetan red deer (shou, the subspecies wallichi of the red deer species group). It was first scientifically described by Nikolai Przhevalsky in 1883, and the first specimens were procured by G. W. Thorold, after whom the species is named. As of early 2011, more than 100 Thorold’s deer are kept in ISIS-registered zoos, and in 1998 it was estimated that about 7000 remain in the wild.
