How much does a Dormer’s bat weight?

It is hard to guess what a Dormer’s bat weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Dormer’s bat (Pipistrellus dormeri) on average weights 6 grams (0.01 lbs).

The Dormer’s bat is from the family Vespertilionidae (genus: Pipistrellus). It is usually born with about 1 grams (0 lbs). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 12.18 meter (40′ 0″). Usually, Dormer’s bats have 1 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.
