It is hard to guess what a Thomas’s bushbaby weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Thomas’s bushbaby (Galago thomasi) on average weights 117 grams (0.26 lbs).
The Thomas’s bushbaby is from the family Galagidae (genus: Galago). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 45.7 cm (1′ 6″).
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.
