It is hard to guess what a Sanborn’s bonneted bat weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Sanborn’s bonneted bat (Eumops hansae) on average weights 15 grams (0.03 lbs).
The Sanborn’s bonneted bat is from the family Molossidae (genus: Eumops). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 2.7 meter (8′ 11″).
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.
Sanborn’s bonneted bat (Eumops hansae), is a bat species from South and Central America. It was first described from a specimen collected at Colonia Hansa, Brazil, and is sometimes also known as the Hansa bonneted bat.
