It is hard to guess what a Schultz’s round-eared bat weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Schultz’s round-eared bat (Tonatia schulzi) on average weights 17 grams (0.04 lbs).
The Schultz’s round-eared bat is from the family Phyllostomidae (genus: Tonatia). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 30 cm (1′ 0″).
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.
Schultz’s round-eared bat (Lophostoma schulzi) is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae. It is found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, and Suriname. It is threatened by habitat loss.
