It is hard to guess what a Northern needle-clawed bushbaby weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Northern needle-clawed bushbaby (Euoticus pallidus) on average weights 278 grams (0.61 lbs).
The Northern needle-clawed bushbaby is from the family Galagonidae (genus: Euoticus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 30 cm (1′ 0″).
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 northern needle-clawed bushbaby (Euoticus pallidus) is a species of strepsirrhine primate in the family Galagidae. It is found in the coastal region of Cameroon and Nigeria, and on the island of Bioko, Equatorial Guinea in lower-elevation forests that provide its specialized diet of tree gum and resins.
