Mean and maximum live mass reported for sexually mature animals of each sex are given (where sufficient data are available). A range of values is indicated where body mass varies significantly between different populations of the species. Figures in brackets represent guestimates.

The population mean mass per individual for all age classes is taken to be three-quarters of the mean adult female mass.
