Weight of the Baby Koala Joey at the Time of its Birth
At the time of the birth the baby Koala joeys are very small and so does their weight as well. A baby Koala Joey usually when it is born, its weight is around 1 gram. Therefore, the weight of the baby Koala Joey at the time of its birth is very light and small. 1 gram in our daily lives is an ignorable figure, however, this 1 gram baby Koala later grows up as huge as 16 Kilograms and normally around 10 Kilograms. Koala Joeys' this growth from 1 gram to adulthood as 10 Kilograms serves as a massive difference.
It wouldn’t be wrong to consider it as one of the lightest of weights among all the mammals when they are born. However, marsupial babies are usually very small when they are born. The same is also true about Koalas as well; as their newborns are very small as well which prompts them to record the lightest of the weights.
Some studies also found the weights of the new born baby Koala Joeys to be less than 1 gram as well. These studies found them to be around 0.8 to 0.9 grams. But this weight is also considered as very normal by the researchers as well. While other times, the weights of the new born Koala Joeys is larger as well as many observers and researchers from the Victorian territories found the Koala Joeys to be weighed at around 1.1 to 1.2 grams.
