How much does a Southern big-eared mouse weight?

It is hard to guess what a Southern big-eared mouse weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Southern big-eared mouse (Loxodontomys micropus) on average weights 70 grams (0.15 lbs).

The Southern big-eared mouse is from the family Cricetidae (genus: Loxodontomys). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 51 cm (1′ 9″). Usually, Southern big-eared mouses have 4 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.
