It is hard to guess what a Red-bellied titi weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Red-bellied titi (Callicebus moloch) on average weights 962 grams (2.12 lbs).
The Red-bellied titi is from the family Cebidae (genus: Callicebus). It is usually born with about 74 grams (0.16 lbs). They can live for up to 25.25 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 35.8 cm (1′ 3″). Usually, Red-bellied titis 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 red-bellied titi or dusky titi (Plecturocebus moloch) is a species of titi, a type of New World monkey, endemic to Brazil. It lives in forests and thickets.It has a rounded head and a thick, soft coat and frequently adopts a characteristic posture with the body hunched, limbs close together, and a tail hanging down. The body is 28–39 cm long, and the tail is 33–49 cm.It can move quite fast if necessary but rarely does so and generally stays within a fairly small area, feeding on fruit, insects, spiders, small birds, and bird’s eggs. It is diurnal and moves in pairs or family groups, which communicate by means of a wide repertoire of sounds. The female gives birth to a single offspring.
