It is hard to guess what a Gray-collared chipmunk weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Gray-collared chipmunk (Tamias cinereicollis) on average weights 61 grams (0.13 lbs).
The Gray-collared chipmunk is from the family Sciuridae (genus: Tamias). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 12.8 cm (0′ 6″). On average, Gray-collared chipmunks can have babies 1 times per year with a litter size of 4.
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 gray-collared chipmunk (Neotamias cinereicollis) is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae. It is endemic to Arizona and New Mexico in the United States.
