What is the gestation period foe sandhill cranes?
Based solely on google searches, it appears the gestation period for sandhill cranes is about 30 to 32 days. They often lay 2 eggs (alternating days) and often only 1 is fertile. There are 2 eggs being watched now (5/22/2012) that were layed on or about 5/4/2012. Parents seem to work jointly on keeping nest high and dry as the nest is in a pond and it's the rainy season so nightly both birds work most the night adding to the nest base. Then one sits on the nest, the other gone somewhere. 30 days would be 6/4... so babies soon due!
Can a hermaphrodite self impregnate?
No. Human hermaphrodites are not actually both male and female. Genetically they will either be male or female, and thus will either produce sperm or eggs (ova), but never both.
People who are considered hermaphrodites acutually only have "ambiguous genitalia" usually due to hormonal imbalances in utero. For example, if a female fetus is exposed to testosterone in the uterus, she will develop ambiguous genitalia or if a male fetus is not exposed to enough testosterone in the uterus, he will develop ambiguous genitalia.
