It is hard to guess what a Philippine warty pig weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Philippine warty pig (Sus philippensis) on average weights 189.4 kg (417.55 lbs).
The Philippine warty pig is from the family Suidae (genus: Sus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 1.35 meter (4′ 6″). On average, Philippine warty pigs can have babies 1 times per year with a litter size of 6.
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 Philippine warty pig (Sus philippensis) is one of four known species in the pig genus (Sus) endemic to the Philippines. The other three endemic species are the Visayan warty pig (S. cebifrons), Mindoro warty pig (S. oliveri) and the Palawan bearded pig (S. ahoenobarbus), also being rare members of the family Suidae. Philippine warty pigs have two pairs of warts, with a tuft of hair extending outwards from the warts closest to the jaw. It has multiple native common names, but it is most widely known as baboy damo (“bush pig”) in Tagalog.
