It is hard to guess what a Stump-tailed macaque weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Stump-tailed macaque (Macaca arctoides) on average weights 9.38 kg (20.68 lbs).
The Stump-tailed macaque is from the family Cercopithecidae (genus: Macaca). It is usually born with about 489 grams (1.08 lbs). They can live for up to 30 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 60 cm (2′ 0″). Usually, Stump-tailed macaques 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 stump-tailed macaque (Macaca arctoides), also called the bear macaque, is a species of macaque found in South Asia.
