How much does a Pallas’s squirrel weight?

It is hard to guess what a Pallas’s squirrel weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Pallas’s squirrel (Callosciurus erythraeus) on average weights 283 grams (0.62 lbs).

The Pallas’s squirrel is from the family Sciuridae (genus: Callosciurus). They can live for up to 16.08 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 21.1 cm (0′ 9″). On average, Pallas’s squirrels can have babies 2 times per year with a litter size of 1.

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.
