It is hard to guess what a Cinereus ringtail possum weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Cinereus ringtail possum (Pseudochirulus cinereus) on average weights 977 grams (2.15 lbs).
The Cinereus ringtail possum is from the family Pseudocheiridae (genus: Pseudochirulus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 31 cm (1′ 1″). Usually, Cinereus ringtail possums 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 cinereus ringtail possum (Pseudochirulus cinereus), also known as the Daintree River ringtail possum, is a species of possum found in northeastern Queensland, Australia. It was long believed to be the same as the Herbert River ringtail possum (P. herbertensis), but has recently been separated. The two species differ considerably in appearance.The cinereus ringtail possum is a cinnamon or brown colour, and has been said, like the lemur-like ringtail possum (Hemibelideus lemuroides), to resemble a lemur. It is found in montane tropical rainforest in three separate populations just north of Cairns: on Carbine Tableland, Mount Windsor Tableland and Thornton Peak massif.
