It is hard to guess what a Javan warty pig weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Javan warty pig (Sus verrucosus) on average weights 89.2 kg (196.66 lbs).
The Javan warty pig is from the family Suidae (genus: Sus). They can live for up to 14 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 1.25 meter (4′ 2″). Usually, Javan warty pigs have 5 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 warty pig (Sus verrucosus), also called Javan pig, is an even-toed ungulate in the family Suidae. It is endemic to the Indonesian islands Java and Bawean, and is considered extinct on Madura. It is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List since 1996.
