It is hard to guess what a Soemmerring’s gazelle weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Soemmerring’s gazelle (Gazella soemmerringii) on average weights 41 kg (90.39 lbs).
The Soemmerring’s gazelle is from the family Bovidae (genus: Gazella). They can live for up to 15.5 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 1.36 meter (4′ 6″). Usually, Soemmerring’s 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 Soemmerring’s gazelle (Nanger soemmerringii, formerly Gazella soemmerringii), also known as Abyssinian mohr, is a gazelle species native to the Horn of Africa (Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia and South Sudan). The species was described and given its binomen by German physician Philipp Jakob Cretzschmar in 1828. Three subspecies are recognized. It is no longer present in Sudan.Since 1986, Soemmerring’s gazelle has been classified as Vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
