It is hard to guess what a Celebes crested macaque weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Celebes crested macaque (Macaca nigra) on average weights 7.37 kg (16.25 lbs).
The Celebes crested macaque is from the family Cercopithecidae (genus: Macaca). It is usually born with about 458 grams (1.01 lbs). They can live for up to 18 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 54.9 cm (1′ 10″). Usually, Celebes crested macaques 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 Celebes crested macaque (Macaca nigra), also known as the crested black macaque, Sulawesi crested macaque, or the black ape, is an Old World monkey that lives in the Tangkoko reserve in the northeastern tip of the Indonesian island of Sulawesi (Celebes), as well as on smaller neighboring islands.
