It is hard to guess what a Olive grass mouse weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Olive grass mouse (Akodon xanthorhinus) on average weights 19 grams (0.04 lbs).
The Olive grass mouse is from the family Muridae (genus: Akodon). They can live for up to 1 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 9.6 cm (0′ 4″). On average, Olive grass mouses can have babies 2 times per year with a litter size of 5.
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.
Abrothrix olivaceus, also known as the olive grass mouse or olive akodont, is a species of rodent in the genus Abrothrix of family Cricetidae. It is found from northern Chile into southern Chile and Argentina, including the islands of Tierra del Fuego. It is prone to large swings in population size.
