It is hard to guess what a Osgood’s leaf-eared mouse weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Osgood’s leaf-eared mouse (Phyllotis osgoodi) on average weights 45 grams (0.1 lbs).
The Osgood’s leaf-eared mouse is from the family Muridae (genus: Phyllotis). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 10.5 cm (0′ 5″).
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.
