How much does a Cream-coloured giant squirrel weight?

It is hard to guess what a Cream-coloured giant squirrel weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Cream-coloured giant squirrel (Ratufa affinis) on average weights 1.16 kg (2.55 lbs).

The Cream-coloured giant squirrel is from the family Sciuridae (genus: Ratufa). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 34.3 cm (1′ 2″).

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 cream-coloured giant squirrel or pale giant squirrel (Ratufa affinis) is a large tree squirrel in the genus Ratufa found in forests in the Thai-Malay Peninsula, Sumatra (Indonesia), Borneo (Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia) and nearby small islands. There have been no sightings in Singapore since 1995 and it is believed to be extinct. Reported sightings in Vietnam in 1984 are considered to be dubious.
