It is hard to guess what a Godman’s rock-wallaby weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Godman’s rock-wallaby (Petrogale godmani) on average weights 4.75 kg (10.47 lbs).
The Godman’s rock-wallaby is from the family Macropodidae (genus: Petrogale). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 19.2 cm (0′ 8″).
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.
Godman’s rock-wallaby (Petrogale godmani) is a diprotodont marsupial, and a typical rock-wallaby. It is found in northern and north-eastern Queensland, Australia. This rock-wallaby is found in low open forest, open scrub, or montane regions, often near the coast. It shelters in rocky terrain adjacent to feeding areas. Godman’s rock-wallaby is a nocturnal gregarious territorial folivore.
