It is hard to guess what a Urial weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Urial (Ovis vignei) on average weights 51.8 kg (114.2 lbs).
The Urial is from the family Bovidae (genus: Ovis). They can live for up to 13.75 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 1.42 meter (4′ 8″). Usually, Urials 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 urial (Ovis orientalis vignei group ), also known as the arkars or shapo, is a subspecies group of the wild sheep Ovis orientalis. Noticeable features are the reddish-brown long fur that fades during winter; males are characterized by a black ruff stretching from the neck to the chest and large horns. It is found in western central Asia. The other subspecies group of O. orientalis is the mouflon (Ovis orientalis orientalis group). The two groups have often been considered separate species.
