It is hard to guess what a Large myotis weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Large myotis (Myotis chinensis) on average weights 42 grams (0.09 lbs).
The Large myotis is from the family Vespertilionidae (genus: Myotis). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 6.9 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 large myotis (Myotis chinensis) is a species of vesper bat. It is found in central and southeast China, Hong Kong, Myanmar, Thailand, and northern Vietnam. It is also expected to occur in northern Laos, but not yet documented there.
