It is hard to guess what a Naked-rumped tomb bat weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Naked-rumped tomb bat (Taphozous nudiventris) on average weights 31 grams (0.07 lbs).
The Naked-rumped tomb bat is from the family Emballonuridae (genus: Taphozous). It is usually born with about 7 grams (0.02 lbs). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 8.5 cm (0′ 4″). On average, Naked-rumped tomb bats can have babies 1 times per year with a litter size of 1.
