It is hard to guess what a Crowned lemur weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Crowned lemur (Eulemur coronatus) on average weights 1.7 kg (3.75 lbs).
The Crowned lemur is from the family Lemuridae (genus: Eulemur). It is usually born with about 57 grams (0.13 lbs). They can live for up to 9.17 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 35.2 cm (1′ 2″). Usually, Crowned lemurs 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 crowned lemur (Eulemur coronatus) is a lemur that is 31–36 cm (12–14 in) long and weighs 2 kg (4.4 lb). Its tail is about 42–51 cm (17–20 in) long.
