Good question! On average, cows of all breeds have an average gestation period of approximately 274.9 days.
The gestation period for New Zealand rabbits is around 31 days.
The gestation period of a New Zealand rabbit is around 31 days.
The rabbit gestation period in New Zealand is around 28 to 31 days.
The gestation period of beaver is 107 days and the adult male and kits usually take up a temporary residence in a bank den while the new litter is being born
No. Rate of maturity is more to do with growth and the time when an animal's body begins to lay down fat instead of muscle: it has nothing to do with puberty nor length of gestation. Originally it was believed that the rate an animal matured, be it early, moderate or late, did affect age of puberty and/or gestation length. But new research has found that the rate of maturity of growth or rate of growth in cattle has no effect on puberty nor gestation length. Gestation period is affected by genetics and the body condition of the cow or heifer. The length of gestation is highly heritable, as is age of puberty or fertility rates.
The average mass of a newborn baby can be influenced by various factors, including the duration of the gestation period. Generally, longer gestation periods tend to result in heavier newborns, as the fetus has more time to grow and develop. Conversely, shorter gestation periods may lead to lower birth weights, as the baby may be born before reaching full growth potential. However, individual variations and maternal health also play significant roles in both mass and gestation length.

the gestation period of a female manatee is 12-13 months.
No. It might be able to pick up a new-born calf, but not a cow.
Bottlenose dolphins start the gestation period with the copulation of a pair of dolphins. After the 12 months of the gestation period, a single calf is born, usually with the help of another dolphin which assumes the role of a midwife. Dolphin mothers give birth to the calf by releasing the tail of the baby first. This is done this way, to avoid that the new dolphin gets drown. The calf is nursed for up to 18 months with milk produced by the mother.After that, young dolphins stay with their mothers for around 6 years until they have developed all the skills for hunting and surviving.
Bluebirds do not have a gestation period, which refers to the length of a pregnancy. As birds lay eggs, they do not have gestation, but an incubation period, which refers to the length of time an egg is kept warm until it hatches. The incubation period for bluebird eggs is 12-14 days, but incubation may not start until a week after the first egg is laid, in which case the period can extend to 19 days.
