It is hard to guess what a Grant’s gazelle weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Grant’s gazelle (Nanger granti) on average weights 55.46 kg (122.28 lbs).
The Grant’s gazelle is from the family Bovidae (genus: Nanger). It is usually born with about 5.22 kg (11.5 lbs). They can live for up to 12.67 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 1.53 meter (5′ 1″). Usually, Grant’s 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 Grant’s gazelle (Nanger granti, syn. Gazella granti) is a species of gazelle distributed from northern Tanzania to South Sudan and Ethiopia, and from the Kenyan coast to Lake Victoria. Its Swahili name is swala granti. It was named for a 19th-century Scottish explorer, Lt Col Grant.
