It is hard to guess what a Rhim gazelle weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Rhim gazelle (Gazella leptoceros) on average weights 24.47 kg (53.95 lbs).
The Rhim gazelle is from the family Bovidae (genus: Gazella). It is usually born with about 4.62 kg (10.19 lbs). They can live for up to 14 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 1.03 meter (3′ 5″). Usually, Rhim 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 rhim gazelle or rhim (Gazella leptoceros), also known as the slender-horned gazelle, sand gazelle or Loder’s gazelle, is a pale-coated gazelle with long slender horns and well adapted to desert life. It is considered an endangered species because fewer than 2500 are left in the wild. These gazelles are found in Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Libya and Sudan.
