It is hard to guess what a Algerian mouse weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Algerian mouse (Mus spretus) on average weights 16 grams (0.04 lbs).
The Algerian mouse is from the family Muridae (genus: Mus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 6.1 cm (0′ 3″). Usually, Algerian mouses have 5 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 Algerian mouse, or western Mediterranean mouse, (Mus spretus) is a wild species of mouse closely related to the house mouse, native to open habitats around the western Mediterranean.
