No, they do not show the same fecundity. Fecundity means the ability to produce offspring in great numbers. Not all species give birth to numerous or even multiple offspring. …For instance, a dog has anywhere from 3 to 7 puppies on the average birth. A horse, on the other hand, has one foal at a time. All other factors being equal, a dog--because of its ability to produce multiple offspring (as many as 30 or 35 pups) over a period of 4 to 5 years--would be consider more fecund than a horse which, during the same time period, would only produce 4 to 5 offspring.
