It is hard to guess what a Tufted deer weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Tufted deer (Elaphodus cephalophus) on average weights 23.04 kg (50.8 lbs).
The Tufted deer is from the family Cervidae (genus: Elaphodus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 61.4 cm (2′ 1″). Usually, Tufted deers 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 tufted deer (Elaphodus cephalophus) is a small species of deer characterized by a prominent tuft of black hair on its forehead and fang-like canines for the males. It is a close relative of the muntjac, living somewhat further north over a wide area of central China northeastern Myanmar. Suffering from overhunting and habitat loss, this deer is considered near-threatened. It is the only member of the genus Elaphodus. It is restricted to forested mountain habitat up to 4500 m above sea level, making study difficult.
