How much does a Rusty-spotted genet weight?

It is hard to guess what a Rusty-spotted genet weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Rusty-spotted genet (Genetta maculata) on average weights 1.95 kg (4.3 lbs).

The Rusty-spotted genet is from the family Viverridae (genus: Genetta). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 55.4 cm (1′ 10″). Usually, Rusty-spotted genets have 2 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 Rusty-spotted genet is 1.95 kg (4.3 lbs)

The rusty-spotted genet (Genetta maculata), also called panther genet and large-spotted genet, is a genet that is widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa. It is considered common and therefore listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
