How much does a Smoky pocket gopher weight?

It is hard to guess what a Smoky pocket gopher weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Smoky pocket gopher (Pappogeomys neglectus) on average weights 302 grams (0.67 lbs).

The Smoky pocket gopher is from the family Geomyidae (genus: Pappogeomys). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 19.2 cm (0′ 8″). Usually, Smoky pocket gophers have 1 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 smoky pocket gopher (Cratogeomys fumosus) is a species of rodent in the family Geomyidae. It is endemic to Mexico (Querétaro). Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland. Molecular phylogenetics has revealed that this species also includes the animals formerly separated as C. gymnurus, C. neglectus, C. tylorhinus and C. zinseri.
