How long does a mother sheep carry its baby before giving birth?
The average gestation period of a sheep is 147 days, but it can range from 138 to 159. There are breed differences in gestation length, so breeds that mature earlier will have shorter pregnancies than later maturing breeds. If the ewe is pregnant with more than one lamb, they will also tend to have a shorter pregnancy. Male lambs and heavier lambs also tend to be carried longer than smaller, female lambs.

Do smaller animals have longer gestation periods than bigger animals?

Why does herbivores have a longer gestation period than carnivores?
Herbivores typically have longer gestation periods than carnivores because their offspring need more time to develop complex digestive systems that can efficiently break down plant material. Plant matter can be harder to digest and require more specialized enzymes and processes, leading to a longer gestation period to ensure the offspring are adequately prepared for their diet.
Does a placental mammal have a longer gestation period than a marsupial or is it the other way?
A placental mammal has a longer gestation period than a marsupial of similar size. This is because the baby placental mammal completes its development within the womb, unlike the marsupial joey which must complete its development in the pouch.
