It is hard to guess what a Black bearded saki weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Black bearded saki (Chiropotes satanas) on average weights 2.97 kg (6.55 lbs).
The Black bearded saki is from the family Cebidae (genus: Chiropotes). They can live for up to 18 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 41.6 cm (1′ 5″). Usually, Black bearded sakis 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 black bearded saki (Chiropotes satanas) is a species of bearded saki, a type of New World monkey, one of five remaining monkeys of their kind. The genus name Chiropotes means “hand-drinker” as they have been observed using their hands as ladles for scooping water into their mouths. This behavior is thought to be way of maintaining and protecting their magnificent beards.
