It is hard to guess what a Nabarlek weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Nabarlek (Petrogale concinna) on average weights 1.4 kg (3.08 lbs).
The Nabarlek is from the family Macropodidae (genus: Petrogale). They can live for up to 17 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 19.2 cm (0′ 8″). On average, Nabarleks 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 nabarlek, Petrogale concinna, is a tiny species of macropod found in northern Australia, a shy and nocturnal animal that resides in rocky hollows and forages in the surrounding area. The diet is grasses, sedges, and ferns found in and around their scrub covered refuges. They are distinguished by a reddish tinge to the mostly grey fur and a distinct stripe at the cheek. They move with great speed and agility when observed, with a forward leaning posture and a bushy tail that arches over the back.
