It is hard to guess what a Bornean mountain ground squirrel weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Bornean mountain ground squirrel (Dremomys everetti) on average weights 130 grams (0.29 lbs).
The Bornean mountain ground squirrel is from the family Sciuridae (genus: Dremomys). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 20.3 cm (0′ 8″).
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 Bornean mountain ground squirrel (Dremomys everetti) is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae. The scientific name commemorates British colonial administrator and zoological collector Alfred Hart Everett.
