It is hard to guess what a Hershkovitz’s titi weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Hershkovitz’s titi (Callicebus dubius) on average weights 992 grams (2.19 lbs).
The Hershkovitz’s titi is from the family Cebidae (genus: Callicebus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 35.5 cm (1′ 2″). Usually, Hershkovitz’s titis 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.
Hershkovitz’s titi (Plecturocebus dubius) is a species of titi, a type of New World monkey, from South America. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru. The common name is in reference to American zoologist Philip Hershkovitz, who described the species as Callicebus dubius in 1988.
