It is hard to guess what a Long-fingered triok weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Long-fingered triok (Dactylopsila palpator) on average weights 370 grams (0.82 lbs).
The Long-fingered triok is from the family Petauridae (genus: Dactylopsila). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 23.5 cm (0′ 10″). Usually, Long-fingered trioks 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 long-fingered triok (Dactylopsila palpator) is a species of marsupial in the family Petauridae. It is found in West Papua, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
