It is hard to guess what a Low’s squirrel weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Low’s squirrel (Sundasciurus lowii) on average weights 85 grams (0.19 lbs).
The Low’s squirrel is from the family Sciuridae (genus: Sundasciurus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 13.7 cm (0′ 6″). Usually, Low’s squirrels have 2 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.
Low’s squirrel (Sundasciurus lowii) is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae. It is found in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.
