It is hard to guess what a Agile wallaby weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Agile wallaby (Macropus agilis) on average weights 11.86 kg (26.14 lbs).
The Agile wallaby is from the family Macropodidae (genus: Macropus). They can live for up to 12 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 64.6 cm (2′ 2″). On average, Agile wallabys 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.
