It is hard to guess what a Javan rusa weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Javan rusa (Cervus timorensis) on average weights 65.8 kg (145.06 lbs).
The Javan rusa is from the family Cervidae (genus: Cervus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 1.63 meter (5′ 5″). Usually, Javan rusas 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 Javan rusa or Sunda sambar (Rusa timorensis) is a deer native to the islands of Indonesia and East Timor. Introduced populations exist in a wide variety of locations in the Southern Hemisphere.
