It is hard to guess what a Bioko Allen’s bushbaby weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Bioko Allen’s bushbaby (Galago alleni) on average weights 268 grams (0.59 lbs).
The Bioko Allen’s bushbaby is from the family Galagonidae (genus: Galago). It is usually born with about 24 grams (0.05 lbs). They can live for up to 12 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 20 cm (0′ 8″). On average, Bioko Allen’s bushbabys 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.
