It is hard to guess what a Northern broad-nosed bat weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Northern broad-nosed bat (Scotorepens sanborni) on average weights 8 grams (0.02 lbs).
The Northern broad-nosed bat is from the family Vespertilionidae (genus: Scotorepens). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 55.7 cm (1′ 10″).
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 northern broad-nosed bat – Scotorepens sanborni – is a species of the vespertilionid family of microbats. It can be found in northern Australia, Timor-Leste, and Papua New Guinea.
