Its eyes appear to bulge out of its face and look as though they are on an angle, and its ears are almost invisible, buried under thick fur. Male and female body types are similar and are both within the same size range. Adult females range in weight from 708–1,205 g (25.0–42.5 oz) (including pouch young where present), whereas adult males range in weight from 845–1,200 g (29.8–42.3 oz).
