It is hard to guess what a Humboldt’s white-fronted capuchin weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Humboldt’s white-fronted capuchin (Cebus albifrons) on average weights 2.52 kg (5.54 lbs).
The Humboldt’s white-fronted capuchin is from the family Cebidae (genus: Cebus). It is usually born with about 232 grams (0.51 lbs). They can live for up to 44 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 38.4 cm (1′ 4″). Usually, Humboldt’s white-fronted capuchins 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.
Humboldt’s white-fronted capuchin (Cebus albifrons) is a species of gracile capuchin monkey. The species name Cebus albifrons was formerly considered to also include several types of white-fronted capuchin monkey which are now regarded as separate species based on genetic studies by Boubli and Lynch Alfaro.
