It is hard to guess what a Eastern broad-nosed bat weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Eastern broad-nosed bat (Scotorepens orion) on average weights 11 grams (0.02 lbs).
The Eastern broad-nosed bat is from the family Vespertilionidae (genus: Scotorepens). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 55.7 cm (1′ 10″).
