Canine sperm can live for 10 to 11 days [22] in the oviducts (fallopian tubes) so if a female is bred 10 days before the oocytes (eggs) can be fertilized, she will appear to have a gestation length of 70 days. If she is bred on the day the oocytes can be fertilized, her gestation length will appear to be 60 days long.
Large mammals develop at an absolute slower rate compared to small mammals. Thus, the large mammal tend have longer gestation periods than small mammal as they tend to produce larger neonate. [32] Large mammals require a longer period of time to attain any proportion of adult mass compared to small mammals. [33]
For mammals, the gestation period is the time in which a fetus develops, beginning with fertilization and ending at birth. [1] The duration of this period varies between species. For most species, the amount a fetus grows before birth determines the length of the gestation period.
Diagram of stages of embryo development to a larval and adult stage. In developmental biology, animal embryonic development, also known as animal embryogenesis, is the developmental stage of an animal embryo. Embryonic development starts with the fertilization of an egg cell (ovum) by a sperm cell (spermatozoon). [1]
Laika (/ ˈ l aɪ k ə / LY-kə; Russian: Лайка, IPA:; c. 1954 – 3 November 1957) was a Soviet space dog who was one of the first animals in space and the first to orbit the Earth. A stray mongrel from the streets of Moscow, she flew aboard the Sputnik 2 spacecraft, launched into low orbit on 3 November 1957.
Gestation is the period of development during the carrying of an embryo, and later fetus, inside viviparous animals (the embryo develops within the parent). [1] It is typical for mammals, but also occurs for some non-mammals. Mammals during pregnancy can have one or more gestations at the same time, for example in a multiple birth. [2]
