It is hard to guess what a Mohol bushbaby weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Mohol bushbaby (Galago moholi) on average weights 193 grams (0.43 lbs).
The Mohol bushbaby is from the family Galagonidae (genus: Galago). It is usually born with about 11 grams (0.02 lbs). They can live for up to 16.5 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 16 cm (0′ 7″). Usually, Mohol bushbabys 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 Mohol bushbaby (Galago moholi) is a species of primate in the family Galagidae which is native to mesic woodlands of the southern Afrotropics. It is physically very similar to the Senegal bushbaby, and was formerly considered to be its southern race. The two species differ markedly in their biology however, and no hybrids have been recorded in captivity.
