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.
