How much does a Dwarf shrew weight?

It is hard to guess what a Dwarf shrew weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Dwarf shrew (Sorex nanus) on average weights 2 grams (0 lbs).

The Dwarf shrew is from the family Soricidae (genus: Sorex). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 5.2 cm (0′ 3″). Usually, Dwarf shrews have 6 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.

The average adult weight of a Dwarf shrew is 2 grams (0 lbs)

The dwarf shrew (Sorex nanus) is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae endemic to Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming in the United States. The type locality is Estes Park (Larimer County), Colorado, USA.
