What is the maximal age a Eligmodontia typus reaches?
An adult Eligmodontia typus (Eligmodontia typus) usually gets as old as 0.75 years.
Eligmodontia typuss are around 18 days in the womb of their mother. When born, they weight 1 grams (0 lbs) and measure 8 cm (0′ 4″). As a member of the Muridae family (genus: Eligmodontia), their offspring is 6 babies per pregnancy. Fully grown, they reach a bodylength of 1.92 meter (6′ 4″).
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.
Eligmodontia typus is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in Argentina and possibly also Chile. The northernmost population might represent a distinct species, E. bolsonensis, to which the common name highland gerbil mouse would apply. The lowland population would then be known as eastern Patagonian gerbil mouse or eastern Patagonian laucha.
