How much does a Royle’s pika weight?

It is hard to guess what a Royle’s pika weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Royle’s pika (Ochotona roylei) on average weights 260 grams (0.57 lbs).

The Royle’s pika is from the family Ochotonidae (genus: Ochotona). It is usually born with about 7 grams (0.02 lbs). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 17.7 cm (0′ 7″). On average, Royle’s pikas can have babies 1 times per year with a litter size of 3.

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.
