It is hard to guess what a Winkelmann’s mouse weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Winkelmann’s mouse (Peromyscus winkelmanni) on average weights 40 grams (0.09 lbs).
The Winkelmann’s mouse is from the family Muridae (genus: Peromyscus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 10.1 cm (0′ 4″).
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.
Winkelmann’s mouse (Peromyscus winkelmanni) is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae found only in Mexico, and is named for John R. Winkelmann, who collected the first specimens.
