It is hard to guess what a Asinus weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Asinus (Equus asinus) on average weights 172.5 kg (380.29 lbs).
The Asinus is from the family Equidae (genus: Equus). It is usually born with about 29.28 kg (64.54 lbs). They can live for up to 47 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 3.7 cm (0′ 2″). Usually, Asinuss 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.
Asinus is a subgenus of Equus (single-toed (hooved) grazing animal) that encompasses several subspecies of the Equidae commonly known as asses, characterized by long ears, a lean, straight-backed build, lack of a true withers, a coarse mane and tail, and a reputation for considerable toughness and endurance.The common donkey is the best-known domesticated representative of the subgenus, with both domesticated and feral varieties. Among the wild ass species, several never-domesticated species live in Asia and Africa.
