It is hard to guess what a Pond bat weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Pond bat (Myotis dasycneme) on average weights 15 grams (0.03 lbs).
The Pond bat is from the family Vespertilionidae (genus: Myotis). They can live for up to 19.5 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 6.9 cm (0′ 3″). Usually, Pond bats have 1 babies per litter.
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 pond bat (Myotis dasycneme) is a species of vesper bat. It is found in Eurasia from France to Russia and Kazakhstan.
