It is hard to guess what a Para dog-faced bat weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Para dog-faced bat (Cynomops paranus) on average weights 12 grams (0.03 lbs).
The Para dog-faced bat is from the family Molossidae (genus: Cynomops). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 64.7 cm (2′ 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.
The Para dog-faced bat (Cynomops paranus), also called the brown dog-faced bat, is a South American bat species of the family Molossidae. It is found in Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Guyana, Surinam, French Guiana, Brazil, and northern Argentina.
