How much does a L’Hoest’s monkey weight?

It is hard to guess what a L’Hoest’s monkey weights. But we have the answer:

An adult L’Hoest’s monkey (Cercopithecus lhoesti) on average weights 5.31 kg (11.72 lbs).

The L’Hoest’s monkey is from the family Cercopithecidae (genus: Cercopithecus). They can live for up to 16 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 51 cm (1′ 9″). Usually, L’Hoest’s monkeys 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.
