How much does a Oncilla weight?

It is hard to guess what a Oncilla weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus) on average weights 1.11 kg (2.44 lbs).

The Oncilla is from the family Felidae (genus: Leopardus). It is usually born with about 30 grams (0.07 lbs). They can live for up to 10 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 25 cm (0′ 10″). Usually, Oncillas 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 average adult weight of a Oncilla is 1.11 kg (2.44 lbs)

The oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus), also known as the northern tiger cat, little spotted cat, and tigrillo, is a small spotted cat ranging from Central America to central Brazil. It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because the population is threatened by deforestation and conversion of habitat to agricultural land.In 2013, it was proposed to assign the population in southern Brazil and Cuyoaco to a new species L. guttulus, after it was found not to be interbreeding with the L. tigrinus population in northeast Brazil.
