It is hard to guess what a Bryant’s woodrat weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Bryant’s woodrat (Neotoma bryanti) on average weights 182 grams (0.4 lbs).
The Bryant’s woodrat is from the family Muridae (genus: Neotoma). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 20.9 cm (0′ 9″).
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.
Bryant’s woodrat (Neotoma bryanti) is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae.
