It is hard to guess what a Fea’s muntjac weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Fea’s muntjac (Muntiacus feae) on average weights 19.9 kg (43.87 lbs).
The Fea’s muntjac is from the family Cervidae (genus: Muntiacus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 99.5 cm (3′ 4″). Usually, Fea’s muntjacs 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 Fea’s muntjac or Tenasserim muntjac (Muntiacus feae) is a rare species of muntjac native to southern Myanmar and Thailand. It is a similar size to the common muntjac (adult weight is 18 – 21 kg (40 – 46 lb)).It is diurnal and solitary, inhabiting upland evergreen, mixed or shrub forest (at an altitude of 2500 m (8200′)) with a diet of grasses, low-growing leaves, and tender shoots.The young are usually born in dense vegetation, remaining hidden until able to travel with the mother.It is named after zoologist Leonardo Fea. Its other name comes from the Tenasserim Hills, between Burma and Thailand.
