How much does a Round-eared tube-nosed fruit bat weight?

It is hard to guess what a Round-eared tube-nosed fruit bat weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Round-eared tube-nosed fruit bat (Nyctimene cyclotis) on average weights 48 grams (0.11 lbs).

The Round-eared tube-nosed fruit bat is from the family Pteropodidae (genus: Nyctimene). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 8.6 cm (0′ 4″).

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 round-eared tube-nosed fruit bat (Nyctimene cyclotis) is a species of bat in the family Pteropodidae. It is possibly conspecific with Nyctimene certans, although the taxonomy remains unresolved. The possible synonymy of the species was investigated by Randolph L. Peterson in 1991, finding the species split into two distinct groups based on morphology. It is found in West Papua and Mansuar Island in Indonesia.
