Smaller mammals may have many litters or births in a year. Generally the larger mammals get, the longer gestation takes and also smaller numbers are born. Some mice may have 5-6 litters per year, each of 8-10 young, (potentially over 60 young in a year) whereas a horse or cow will normally only have one borth, one youngste per year.
