How much does a Olrog’s chaco mouse weight?

It is hard to guess what a Olrog’s chaco mouse weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Olrog’s chaco mouse (Andalgalomys olrogi) on average weights 32 grams (0.07 lbs).

The Olrog’s chaco mouse is from the family Muridae (genus: Andalgalomys). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 9.6 cm (0′ 4″).

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.
