| The most diminutive subspecies of mouse recoms can be as little as 20 inches tall (0.5 m) and 5 pounds weight (2 Kg) when they reach adulthood. Genetic engineers believe this is the lower limit of practical size for an intelligent being, due to the need of supporting a required brain mass. (Exceptions would be possible only if intelligence were artificially increased by non-biological means, such as if suitable nanocomputers were invented). Along with mice, some bat recoms are nearly this small. Rats tend to be somewhat larger, with the smaller subspecies averaging around 3 feet (1 m) in height. Among these very small species, the males tend to be only slightly larger than females, if at all. | The most diminutive subspecies of mouse recoms can be as little as 20 inches tall (0.5 m) and 5 pounds mass (2 Kg) when they reach adulthood.
