It is hard to guess what a Gould’s wattled bat weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Gould’s wattled bat (Chalinolobus gouldii) on average weights 14 grams (0.03 lbs).
The Gould’s wattled bat is from the family Vespertilionidae (genus: Chalinolobus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 60 cm (2′ 0″). On average, Gould’s wattled bats can have babies 1 times per year with a litter size of 2.
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.
Gould’s wattled bat (Chalinolobus gouldii) is a species of Australian wattled bat named after the English naturalist John Gould.
