It is hard to guess what a Brazilian big-eyed bat weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Brazilian big-eyed bat (Chiroderma doriae) on average weights 19 grams (0.04 lbs).
The Brazilian big-eyed bat is from the family Phyllostomidae (genus: Chiroderma). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 30.5 cm (1′ 1″). Usually, Brazilian big-eyed bats have 1 babies per litter.
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.
The Brazilian big-eyed bat (Chiroderma doriae) is a species of phyllostomid bat from South America. The scientific name honours Italian naturalist Giacomo Doria.
