It is hard to guess what a Notiomys weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Notiomys (Notiomys edwardsii) on average weights 21 grams (0.05 lbs).
The Notiomys is from the family Muridae (genus: Notiomys). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 4.8 cm (0′ 2″).
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.
Notiomys edwardsii, also known as Edward’s long-clawed akodont, Milne-Edwards’ long-clawed mouse, or Edwards’s long-clawed mouse, is a rodent in the tribe Abrotrichini from southern Argentina. It is the only species in the genus Notiomys, although species of Chelemys and Geoxus were formerly included in that genus.
