It is hard to guess what a Grizzled tree-kangaroo weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Grizzled tree-kangaroo (Dendrolagus inustus) on average weights 12.61 kg (27.81 lbs).
The Grizzled tree-kangaroo is from the family Macropodidae (genus: Dendrolagus). They can live for up to 20 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 71.7 cm (2′ 5″). Usually, Grizzled tree-kangaroos 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.
