How much does a Sonoran woodrat weight?

It is hard to guess what a Sonoran woodrat weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Sonoran woodrat (Neotoma phenax) on average weights 227 grams (0.5 lbs).

The Sonoran woodrat is from the family Muridae (genus: Neotoma). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 19.6 cm (0′ 8″). Usually, Sonoran woodrats have 2 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 Sonoran woodrat (Neotoma phenax) is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae found only in Mexico.
