It is hard to guess what a White-footed vole weights. But we have the answer:
An adult White-footed vole (Arborimus albipes) on average weights 23 grams (0.05 lbs).
The White-footed vole is from the family Muridae (genus: Arborimus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 10.3 cm (0′ 5″). Usually, White-footed voles 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 white-footed vole (Arborimus albipes) is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found only in the United States. Its natural habitat is temperate forests.
