How much does a Dingiso weight?

It is hard to guess what a Dingiso weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Dingiso (Dendrolagus mbaiso) on average weights 9.4 kg (20.71 lbs).

The Dingiso is from the family Macropodidae (genus: Dendrolagus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 67.4 cm (2′ 3″).

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 dingiso (Dendrolagus mbaiso), also known as bondegezou, is a species of tree-kangaroo endemic to Papua Province central on New Guinea island, in northeastern Indonesia.The species epithet, mbaiso, means “the forbidden animal” in Moni.
