It is hard to guess what a Calamian deer weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Calamian deer (Axis calamianensis) on average weights 39.66 kg (87.43 lbs).
The Calamian deer is from the family Cervidae (genus: Axis). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 1.39 meter (4′ 7″). Usually, Calamian deers have 2 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 Calamian deer (Hyelaphus calamianensis), also known as Calamian hog deer, is an endangered species of deer found only in the Calamian Islands of Palawan province of the Philippines. It is one of three species of deer native to the Philippines, the other being the Philippine sambar (Cervus mariannus), and Visayan spotted deer (Cervus alfredi).
