It is hard to guess what a Yellow-bellied weasel weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Yellow-bellied weasel (Mustela kathiah) on average weights 264 grams (0.58 lbs).
The Yellow-bellied weasel is from the family Mustelidae (genus: Mustela). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 26 cm (0′ 11″).
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 yellow-bellied weasel (Mustela kathiah) is a species of weasel that inhabits pine forests in central and eastern Asia.
