It is hard to guess what a Singing vole weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Singing vole (Microtus miurus) on average weights 41 grams (0.09 lbs).
The Singing vole is from the family Muridae (genus: Microtus). It is usually born with about 2 grams (0 lbs). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 11.9 cm (0′ 5″). Usually, Singing voles have 3 babies per litter.
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 singing vole (Microtus miurus), is a medium-sized vole found in northwestern North America, including Alaska and northwestern Canada.
