It is hard to guess what a Brown woolly monkey weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Brown woolly monkey (Lagothrix lagotricha) on average weights 6.27 kg (13.82 lbs).
The Brown woolly monkey is from the family Cebidae (genus: Lagothrix). It is usually born with about 438 grams (0.97 lbs). They can live for up to 30 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 53.7 cm (1′ 10″). Usually, Brown woolly monkeys 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.
