It is hard to guess what a Mountain gazelle weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Mountain gazelle (Gazella gazella) on average weights 21.25 kg (46.85 lbs).
The Mountain gazelle is from the family Bovidae (genus: Gazella). It is usually born with about 2.13 kg (4.69 lbs). They can live for up to 18.25 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 1.01 meter (3′ 4″). Usually, Mountain gazelles 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 mountain gazelle or the Palestine mountain gazelle (Gazella gazella) is a species of gazelle widely but unevenly distributed.
