It is hard to guess what a Pteropus brunneus weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Pteropus brunneus (Pteropus brunneus) on average weights 200 grams (0.44 lbs).
The Pteropus brunneus is from the family Pteropodidae (genus: Pteropus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 11.7 cm (0′ 5″).
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.
Pteropus brunneus is an extinct species of flying fox in the family Pteropodidae. It was said to be found at Percy Island, southeast of Mackay, Queensland, off the northeast coast of Australia.
