It is hard to guess what a White-footed saki weights. But we have the answer:
An adult White-footed saki (Pithecia albicans) on average weights 2.8 kg (6.17 lbs).
The White-footed saki is from the family Cebidae (genus: Pithecia). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 39.4 cm (1′ 4″).
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 white-footed saki, buffy saki or white saki (Pithecia albicans) is a species of saki monkey, a type of New World monkey, endemic to western Brazil south of the Amazon.
