It is hard to guess what a East Caucasian tur weights. But we have the answer:
An adult East Caucasian tur (Capra cylindricornis) on average weights 57.5 kg (126.77 lbs).
The East Caucasian tur is from the family Bovidae (genus: Capra). They can live for up to 22 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 94.1 cm (3′ 2″). Usually, East Caucasian turs 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 East Caucasian tur or Daghestan tur (Capra cylindricornis) is a mountain-dwelling caprine found only in the eastern half of the Greater Caucasus Mountains. The East Caucasian tur lives in rough mountainous terrain, where it eats mainly grasses and leaves and is preyed upon by wolves and lynxes. It is sometimes considered a subspecies of the West Caucasian tur, and sometimes as a full species in its own right. The species is listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN.
