It is hard to guess what a Ear-spot squirrel weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Ear-spot squirrel (Callosciurus adamsi) on average weights 209 grams (0.46 lbs).
The Ear-spot squirrel is from the family Sciuridae (genus: Callosciurus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 20.3 cm (0′ 8″). Usually, Ear-spot squirrels 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.
The ear-spot squirrel (Callosciurus adamsi) is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae.It is endemic to Borneo (Indonesia and Malaysia). Diurnal and active mainly in small trees. Closely resembles the plantain squirrel (Callosciurus notatus), but smaller and with a distinct pale buffy patch behind each ear.
