It is hard to guess what a Bald uakari weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Bald uakari (Cacajao calvus) on average weights 3.42 kg (7.54 lbs).
The Bald uakari is from the family Cebidae (genus: Cacajao). They can live for up to 27 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 54.1 cm (1′ 10″). Usually, Bald uakaris 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 bald uakari (Cacajao calvus) or bald-headed uakari is a small New World monkey characterized by a very short tail; bright, crimson face; a bald head; and long coat. The bald uakari is restricted to várzea forests and other wooded habitats near water in the western Amazon of Brazil and Peru.
