It is hard to guess what a Sulawesi rousette weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Sulawesi rousette (Rousettus celebensis) on average weights 63 grams (0.14 lbs).
The Sulawesi rousette is from the family Pteropodidae (genus: Rousettus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 10.4 cm (0′ 5″). Usually, Sulawesi rousettes 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 Sulawesi rousette (Rousettus celebensis) is a species of megabat in the family Pteropodidae endemic to Sulawesi, an island in Indonesia.
