How much does a White-nosed saki weight?

It is hard to guess what a White-nosed saki weights. But we have the answer:

An adult White-nosed saki (Chiropotes albinasus) on average weights 2.8 kg (6.17 lbs).

The White-nosed saki is from the family Cebidae (genus: Chiropotes). They can live for up to 17 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 44 cm (1′ 6″). Usually, White-nosed sakis 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 average adult weight of a White-nosed saki is 2.8 kg (6.17 lbs)

The white-nosed saki (Chiropotes albinasus) is an endangered species of bearded saki, a type of New World monkey, endemic to the south-central Amazon rainforest in Brazil and possibly a small area east of Bolivia. Both its scientific and common name were caused by the authors working from dead specimens, where the skin on and around the nose fades to whitish. In living individuals, it is actually bright pink (though with fine barely visible white hairs), and the pelage is black. No other species of the genus Chiropotes have a brightly colored nose.
