How much does a Blind mole weight?

It is hard to guess what a Blind mole weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Blind mole (Talpa caeca) on average weights 70 grams (0.15 lbs).

The Blind mole is from the family Talpidae (genus: Talpa). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 12 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.

The average adult weight of a Blind mole is 70 grams (0.15 lbs)

The blind mole (Talpa caeca), also known as the Mediterranean mole, is a mole found in the Mediterranean region. It is similar to the European mole, differing most prominently in having eyes covered with skin. It is found in Albania, France, Greece, Italy, Monaco, Montenegro, San Marino, Serbia, Slovenia, Switzerland, and Turkey.
