It is hard to guess what a Cozumel raccoon weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Cozumel raccoon (Procyon pygmaeus) on average weights 2.96 kg (6.52 lbs).
The Cozumel raccoon is from the family Procyonidae (genus: Procyon). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 42.8 cm (1′ 5″).

The Cozumel raccoon (Procyon pygmaeus), also called the pygmy raccoon, is a critically endangered species of island raccoon endemic on Cozumel Island off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.Other common names for the Cozumel raccoon include dwarf raccoon, Cozumel Island raccoon, and Cozumel raccoon bear.
