What is the maximal age a Daubenton’s bat reaches?
An adult Daubenton’s bat (Myotis daubentoni) usually gets as old as 28 years.
Daubenton’s bats are around 55 days in the womb of their mother. When born, they weight 2 grams (0 lbs) and measure 2.9 cm (0′ 2″). As a member of the Vespertilionidae family (genus: Myotis), a Daubenton’s bat caries out around 1 little ones per pregnancy, which happens around 1 times a year. Fully grown, they reach a bodylength of 4.4 cm (0′ 2″).
As a reference: Usually, humans get as old as 100 years, with the average being around 75 years. After being carried in the belly of their mother for 280 days (40 weeks), they grow to an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″) and weight in at 62 kg (137 lbs), which is obviously highly individual.
Daubenton’s bat (Myotis daubentonii) is a Eurasian bat with rather short ears.
