It is hard to guess what a Chiruromys lamia weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Chiruromys lamia (Chiruromys lamia) on average weights 47 grams (0.1 lbs).
The Chiruromys lamia is from the family Muridae (genus: Chiruromys). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 11.2 cm (0′ 5″). Usually, Chiruromys lamias have 2 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.
Chiruromys lamia, also known as the lamia or the broad-headed tree mouse, is a species of rodent found chiefly in southeastern New Guinea. It is arboreal, living in hollow tree nests, and is found at elevations of 1,200–2,300 metres (3,900–7,500 ft).
