It is hard to guess what a Red-fronted gazelle weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Red-fronted gazelle (Gazella rufifrons) on average weights 27 kg (59.52 lbs).
The Red-fronted gazelle is from the family Bovidae (genus: Gazella). They can live for up to 13.5 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 88.5 cm (2′ 11″). Usually, Red-fronted gazelles 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-fronted gazelle (Eudorcas rufifrons) is widely but unevenly distributed gazelle across the middle of Africa from Senegal to northeastern Ethiopia. It is mainly resident in the Sahel zone, a narrow cross-Africa band south of the Sahara, where it prefers arid grasslands, wooded savannas and shrubby steppes.One authority considers Thomson’s gazelle (E. thomsoni), of East Africa, a subspecies of red-fronted gazelle. The red-fronted gazelle was formerly considered a member of the genus Gazella within the subgenus Eudorcas before Eudorcas was elevated to generic status.
