How much does a Wied’s marmoset weight?

It is hard to guess what a Wied’s marmoset weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Wied’s marmoset (Callithrix kuhlii) on average weights 375 grams (0.83 lbs).

The Wied’s marmoset is from the family Callitrichidae (genus: Callithrix). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 24 cm (0′ 10″).

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.

Wied’s marmoset (Callithrix kuhlii), also known as Wied’s black-tufted-ear marmoset, is a New World monkey that lives in tropical and subtropical forests of eastern Brazil. Unlike other marmosets, Wied’s marmoset lives in groups consisting of 4 or 5 females and 2 or 3 males (plus children). They are matriarchal, and only the dominant female is allowed to mate. Like other marmosets, the offspring are always born in pairs.
