It is hard to guess what a Buller’s chipmunk weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Buller’s chipmunk (Tamias bulleri) on average weights 100 grams (0.22 lbs).
The Buller’s chipmunk is from the family Sciuridae (genus: Tamias). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 13.6 cm (0′ 6″). Usually, Buller’s chipmunks have 2 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.
Buller’s chipmunk (Neotamias bulleri) is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae. It is endemic to Mexico.
