It is hard to guess what a White-lined broad-nosed bat weights. But we have the answer:
An adult White-lined broad-nosed bat (Platyrrhinus lineatus) on average weights 24 grams (0.05 lbs).
The White-lined broad-nosed bat is from the family Phyllostomidae (genus: Platyrrhinus). It is usually born with about 8 grams (0.02 lbs). They can live for up to 10.17 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 7.7 cm (0′ 4″). Normally, White-lined broad-nosed bats can have babies 2 times a year.
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-lined broad-nosed bat (Platyrrhinus lineatus) is a bat species from South America. It is found in southern and eastern Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, northern Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, French Guiana and Suriname.
