It is hard to guess what a One-toothed shrew mouse weights. But we have the answer:
An adult One-toothed shrew mouse (Pseudohydromys ellermani) on average weights 21 grams (0.05 lbs).
The One-toothed shrew mouse is from the family Muridae (genus: Pseudohydromys). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 9 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.
The one-toothed shew mouse (Pseudohydromys ellermani) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in West Papua, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, at elevations from 1200 to 3000 m. It is most closely related to Pseudohydromys germani.
