How much does a Pale fox weight?

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

An adult Pale fox (Vulpes pallida) on average weights 2.8 kg (6.17 lbs).

The Pale fox is from the family Canidae (genus: Vulpes). They can live for up to 10 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 43 cm (1′ 5″). Usually, Pale foxs have 4 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 Pale fox is 2.8 kg (6.17 lbs)

The pale fox (Vulpes pallida) is a species of fox found in the band of African Sahel from Senegal in the west to Sudan in the east. It is one of the least studied of all canid species, in part due to its remote habitat and its sandy coat that blends in well with the desert-like terrain.
