How much does a Striped bush squirrel weight?

It is hard to guess what a Striped bush squirrel weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Striped bush squirrel (Paraxerus flavovittis) on average weights 160 grams (0.35 lbs).

The Striped bush squirrel is from the family Sciuridae (genus: Paraxerus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 17.8 cm (0′ 8″). Usually, Striped bush squirrels 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.
