It is hard to guess what a Monjon weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Monjon (Petrogale burbidgei) on average weights 1.26 kg (2.78 lbs).
The Monjon is from the family Macropodidae (genus: Petrogale). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 19.2 cm (0′ 8″). Usually, Monjons 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.
Monjon is a common name for the species Petrogale burbidgei, the smallest of the rock-wallabies (Petrogale), found in the north-west Australia. They are restricted to a small area of the Kimberley region and on nearby islands in the Bonaparte Archipelago.
