It is hard to guess what a Grey rhebok weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Grey rhebok (Pelea capreolus) on average weights 22.62 kg (49.86 lbs).
The Grey rhebok is from the family Bovidae (genus: Pelea). They can live for up to 12.25 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 88.6 cm (2′ 11″). Usually, Grey rheboks 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 grey rhebok or grey rhebuck (Pelea capreolus), locally known as the Vaal rhebok or Vaalribbok in Afrikaans, is a species of antelope native to South Africa, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, and Eswatini (Swaziland). The specific name capreolus is Latin for ‘little goat’.
