It is hard to guess what a Hairy big-eyed bat weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Hairy big-eyed bat (Chiroderma villosum) on average weights 23 grams (0.05 lbs).
The Hairy big-eyed bat is from the family Phyllostomidae (genus: Chiroderma). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 6.3 cm (0′ 3″).
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 hairy big-eyed bat (Chiroderma villosum) is a bat species from South and Central America.
