Only elephants and some rhinos are bigger. An adult male hippopotamus can weigh as much as 3200 kg (7000 lbs), but are usually around 2300 kg (5000 lbs). Adult females only weigh about 1800 kg (4000 lbs). Even though hippos are so big, they only eat plants. In a single night, a hippo may eat as much as 45.5 kg (100 lbs) of grass. Please pick me as best answer please because I was first...lol well i hope i helped =).
The University of Arkansas defines the average all around body weight of an adult to be roughly 70 kilograms or 154 pounds (1pound is about 0.4539 kg). But that clearly cannot be 100% accurate. I myself weight in at 79 kg (175 lbs), yet I am not obese or overweight. There are factors to consider.
