Before we can answer about the lifecycle of a frog you need to provide us with a QUESTION about the lifecycle of a frog.

Cheetahs are pretty awesome, though I also like black panthers and tigers, just because they're pretty. ^_^

they are born as what they are. you are exzactly right. if it is a zebra it isnt born as a horse if it is a leopard it isnt born as a lion. that dont make sence. just becuase it looks like another animal dont mean it is another animal till it getts it spots or strips

Cheetah, unless someone else has already taken it. These are incredible animals - speed and power. \n\nRewop, power spelled backwards.\n\nSweat.

Indeed other mammals do have periods or seasons and indeed this is closely connected to fertility and sometime being "in season" or "on heat". However across the spread of mammals alone there is a phenomenal range of differences. For example the lifespan of some small rodents is less than the gestation period of an elephant. Curiously a species to which they are closely connected.\nFemale kangaroos virtually exhibit all the stages of the reproductive cycle at once, fertile, pregnant and raising young.\nIn short mammal periods do happen but don't generally conform to human monthly cycles.

The Fossa (a cat-like carnivore native to Madagascar) has been known to live up to 20 years in captivity.  Their lifespan in the wild is probably somewhat shorter.\n\nInteresting enough, in addition to breaking up lemur parties by ripping their limbs off, Fossae have the ability to completely evert their rectum.  I don't know why you'd want to, but the Fossa can do it.

Good question,  actually I got tested on this very subject in my Intro to Environment class.\n\nOne thing that can and does happen is the bottle neck sydrom.  That is, a species, take the cheetah starts out with a large amount of genetic variability (lots of different breeding animals), but over time, through loss of habitat, change in climate or introduction of a new disease or preditor (in the case of cheetahs, over hunting by humans), genetic isolation and competetion from other preditors or loss of prey will induce die back.  The strongest, most adaptable animals survive, but after awhile, the lack of numbers takes a toll on a genetic population.  There are less and less animals to breed with, so they end up breeding with brothers, sisters and mothers. In the case of the cheetah, bottlenecking has happened many times, but they recovered (which might not happen this time). This can wreak havok, since one good disease will wipe out the specieis (especially in the wild) in the long run.

The above answer is right; the record litter size among wild mammals goes to the tailless tenrec, but according to the sources I found, the maximum record is 31 (of which 30 survived), not 32. However, the average nº of young is approx. 15.\n\nThe next largest litters correspond to some opossums (20 young), the ermine (a carnivore) with 18 kits, and the rest are rodents (with a maximum of 15 pups for some rat species).  \n\n\nAmong domestic breeds (many of which have been selected to be prolific) the record belongs to a domestic mouse with 34 pups (33 of them survived.)\n\nSee the sources :-)
