It is hard to guess what a Hooper’s mouse weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Hooper’s mouse (Peromyscus hooperi) on average weights 35 grams (0.08 lbs).
The Hooper’s mouse is from the family Muridae (genus: Peromyscus). It is usually born with about 2 grams (0 lbs). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 9.8 cm (0′ 4″). Usually, Hooper’s mouses have 3 babies per litter.
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.
Hooper’s mouse (Peromyscus hooperi) is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is the only member of the Peromyscus hooperi species group, and is found only in Mexico. The species is named for Emmett Hooper, a researcher into the taxonomy of the genus Peromyscus.
