The average duration of the human gestation period is about 40 weeks, or approximately 9 months.
Gestation period and lifespan are positively correlated, as the Animals with fast life cycles (short lifespan) will have fast gestation periods. This is because they evolved to live quickly due to predators and competition for food. Professor William Amos, Professor of Evolutionary Genetics, University of Cambridge

It is a fallacy that any mammal has a gestation period of 8 days. Two marsupials share the shortest gestation period. The Virginian opossum and the yapok (an unusual, rare water opossum) have a gestation period period of 12-13 days. Several sources cite the Eastern quoll of Australia as also having a gestation period of anywhere between 8 and 13 days, but this is incorrect. The Eastern quoll's gestation period is 20-24 days.
The gestation period for a seal is 330 days.
