It is hard to guess what a Hoary wattled bat weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Hoary wattled bat (Chalinolobus nigrogriseus) on average weights 8 grams (0.02 lbs).
The Hoary wattled bat is from the family Vespertilionidae (genus: Chalinolobus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 60 cm (2′ 0″).
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 hoary wattled bat (Chalinolobus nigrogriseus) is a species of vesper bat found in northern Australia and Papua New Guinea. Two subspecies are currently recognised:C. n. nigrogriseus (Gould, 1852)C. n. rogersi (Thomas, 1909)
