It is hard to guess what a Common wallaroo weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Common wallaroo (Macropus robustus) on average weights 25.99 kg (57.3 lbs).
The Common wallaroo is from the family Macropodidae (genus: Macropus). They can live for up to 24 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 87.7 cm (2′ 11″). Usually, Common wallaroos 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 common wallaroo (Osphranter robustus) or wallaroo, also known as euro or hill wallaroo is a species of macropod. The word euro is particularly applied to one subspecies (O. r. erubescens).The eastern wallaroo is mostly nocturnal and solitary, and is one of the more common macropods. It makes a loud hissing noise and some subspecies are sexually dimorphic, like most wallaroos.
