It is hard to guess what a Gray brocket weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Gray brocket (Mazama gouazoupira) on average weights 16.4 kg (36.16 lbs).
The Gray brocket is from the family Cervidae (genus: Mazama). It is usually born with about 836 grams (1.84 lbs). They can live for up to 12 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 92.3 cm (3′ 1″). Usually, Gray brockets 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 gray brocket (Mazama gouazoubira), also known as the brown brocket, is a species of brocket deer from northern Argentina, Bolivia, southern Peru, eastern and southern Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. It formerly included the Amazonian brown brocket (M. nemorivaga) and sometimes also the Yucatan brown brocket (M. pandora) as subspecies. Unlike other species of brocket deer in its range, the gray brocket has a gray-brown fur without reddish tones.
