It is hard to guess what a Leschenault’s rousette weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Leschenault’s rousette (Rousettus leschenaultii) on average weights 84 grams (0.19 lbs).
The Leschenault’s rousette is from the family Pteropodidae (genus: Rousettus). It is usually born with about 12 grams (0.03 lbs). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 60.9 cm (2′ 0″). On average, Leschenault’s rousettes can have babies 2 times per year with a litter size of 1.
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.
