Animal Weight

How much does a King rat (animal) weight?

It is hard to guess what a King rat (animal) weights. But we have the answer:

An adult King rat (animal) (Uromys rex) on average weights 420 grams (0.93 lbs).

The King rat (animal) is from the family Muridae (genus: Uromys). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 26 cm (0′ 11″).

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 king rat (Uromys rex) is a large species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is endemic to the island of Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. Like the two other species of rodent in Guadalcanal, it is placed in the genus Uromys. It lives in trees and is larger than Uromys porculus but smaller than Uromys imperator.
