It is hard to guess what a Goitered gazelle weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Goitered gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa) on average weights 26.84 kg (59.17 lbs).
The Goitered gazelle is from the family Bovidae (genus: Gazella). It is usually born with about 2.32 kg (5.11 lbs). They can live for up to 20 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 95.8 cm (3′ 2″). Usually, Goitered gazelles 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 goitered or black-tailed gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa) is a gazelle found in Georgia, Azerbaijan, Iran, parts of Iraq and Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan and in northwest China and Mongolia. The specific name, meaning “full below the throat”, refers to the male having an enlargement of the neck and throat during the mating season.
