It is hard to guess what a Fraser’s dolphin weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Fraser’s dolphin (Lagenodelphis hosei) on average weights 164 kg (361.56 lbs).
The Fraser’s dolphin is from the family Delphinidae (genus: Lagenodelphis). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 2.16 meter (7′ 2″). Usually, Fraser’s dolphins 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.
