It is hard to guess what a Emilia’s marmoset weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Emilia’s marmoset (Callithrix emiliae) on average weights 309 grams (0.68 lbs).
The Emilia’s marmoset is from the family Cebidae (genus: Callithrix). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 15.7 cm (0′ 7″).
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 Emilia’s marmoset (Mico emiliae), also known as Snethlage’s marmoset, is a marmoset endemic to Brazil. It is found only in the Brazilian states of Pará and Mato Grosso. It was named to honour German-born Brazilian ornithologist Emilie Snethlage.
