How much does a Dusky bushbaby weight?

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

An adult Dusky bushbaby (Galago matschiei) on average weights 213 grams (0.47 lbs).

The Dusky bushbaby is from the family Galagonidae (genus: Galago). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 16 cm (0′ 7″).

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 dusky bushbaby (Galago matschiei) is a species of primate in the family Galagidae. It is also known as Matschie’s galago, in honour of the German zoologist Paul Matschie, curator of mammals at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin. Native to tropical Central Africa, it is found in forests in Burundi, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. The species is small with a long tail, and has an arboreal, nocturnal and omnivorous lifestyle.
