It is hard to guess what a Long-nosed dasyure weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Long-nosed dasyure (Antechinus naso) on average weights 54 grams (0.12 lbs).
The Long-nosed dasyure is from the family Dasyuridae (genus: Antechinus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 12.1 cm (0′ 5″). On average, Long-nosed dasyures can have babies 1 times per year with a litter size of 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 long-nosed dasyure (Phascomurexia naso) is a species of marsupial in the family Dasyuridae. It is found in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests.
