How much does a Railer bat weight?

It is hard to guess what a Railer bat weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Railer bat (Mops thersites) on average weights 22 grams (0.05 lbs).

The Railer bat is from the family Molossidae (genus: Mops). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 1.45 meter (4′ 10″). On average, Railer bats 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.
