How much does a Arabian tahr weight?

It is hard to guess what a Arabian tahr weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Arabian tahr (Hemitragus jayakari) on average weights 22.06 kg (48.62 lbs).

The Arabian tahr is from the family Bovidae (genus: Hemitragus). They can live for up to 14 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 1.08 meter (3′ 7″). Usually, Arabian tahrs have 1 babies per litter.

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 average adult weight of a Arabian tahr is 22.06 kg (48.62 lbs)

The Arabian tahr (Arabitragus jayakari) is a species of tahr native to eastern Arabia. Until recently, it was placed in the genus Hemitragus, but genetic evidence supports its removal to a separate monotypic genus.The Arabian tahr is the smallest species of tahr. The animal is of stocky build with backward-arching horns in both sexes. Males are much more robust than females. Their coats consist of a long, reddish-brown hair, with a dark stripe running down the back. Males possess the most impressive manes which extend right down the back and grow longer, based on the age. In the oldest males the muzzle darkens to black and the eye stripes also darken. As with most mountain goats and sheep, they have rubber-like hooves to provide balance and traction on the steep, rocky slopes.
