[ 35 ] Pinnipeds are not as fast as cetaceans , typically swimming at 5–15 kn (9–28 km/h; 6–17 mph) compared to around 20 kn (37 km/h; 23 mph) for several species of dolphin .
These eggs have a leathery, flexible shell and they typically measure only 26-28 mm in diameter. [24] Incubation time is temperature-dependent, ranging from 9 to 18 weeks. One study on the incubation period of the common snapping turtle incubated the eggs at two temperatures: 20 °C (68 °F) and 30 °C (86 °F).
Nightjars are medium-sized nocturnal birds that usually nest on the ground. They have long wings, short legs, and very short bills.
