How much does a Bunker’s woodrat weight?

It is hard to guess what a Bunker’s woodrat weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Bunker’s woodrat (Neotoma bunkeri) on average weights 375 grams (0.83 lbs).

The Bunker’s woodrat is from the family Muridae (genus: Neotoma). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 20.9 cm (0′ 9″).

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.

Bunker’s woodrat (Neotoma bunkeri) is an extinct species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. Only five specimens are known; these were collected in 1932 by W.H. Burt and are housed at a museum at UCLA. Neotoma bunkeri was only described from Coronados Islands, Baja California, Mexico. It probably died out as a result of depletion of food resources and predation by feral cats.
