Animal Notes and Table Data Sources

Notes Each animal species has different variations +/- the average values shown in the table. Gestation is the carrying of an animal embryo or fetus inside a female viviparous animal. Incubation is the laying of an egg (birds, reptiles, monotremes) with development occurring outside the female animal.
