I assume you are asking how long it takes a mouse to carry babies from conception to birth?\n\nThe common house mouse has a gestation of 19-21 days. \n\nFemale mice reach sexual maturity at 6 weeks, males at 8 weeks.

well tigers... they are the biggest of all the cats (Body length: 140-280cm, Tail length: 60-110cm, Shoulder height: 80-110cm, Weight: Male: 180-280kg, Female: 115-185kg). They are easily recognisable, with thick black vertical stripes covering an orange body. The belly and throat are a creamy white. Male tigers have a ruff around the back of the head, which is especially pronounced in the Sumatran male.\n\nNo two tigers have the same stripe pattern - each is unique, like human fingerprints. Tiger stripe patterns commonly differ between the two sides of an individual's body.\n\nThe last recorded wild white tiger was documented in 1951. This male cub later became the progenitor of most white tigers in captivity. The stripes of white tigers are brown.\n\nunlike the lion tigers hunt by themselves. tigers have one of the biggest jaws of all the cats (second to the american jagaur, who has the first). The tiger has no natural predetor other than man, they live for 8-10 years in the wild and 26 years in captivity.\n\nTigers stalk and ambush their prey. They use dense covering to conceal themselves and sneak up on their prey. When the tiger is close enough it suddenly rushes at its prey and kills it by grabbing the throat or nape of the neck.\n\nFemales occupy ranges between 25-1600 sq. km. Males occupy larger ranges which may overlap with the ranges of several females.\n\nMore than other big cats, tigers have a reputation as man-eaters. In truth, it is rare for a tiger to attack people. It is normally old or injured tigers who are the culprits, as they are less able to catch their usual prey.

*Padding in* Wolf pups are a lot like dogs in that respect, the pups are born blind, deaf, and completely dependent on their mother. There are 1–14 pups per litter, with the average litter size being about four to six. Pups reside in the den, where they are born, and stay there until they reach about _8_WEEKS_ of age (the den is usually on high ground near an open water source, and has an open "room" at the end of an underground/hillside tunnel that can be up to a few meters long). During this time, the pups will become more independent, and will eventually begin to explore the area immediately outside the den before gradually roaming up to a mile away from it. They begin eating regurgitated foods at four weeks – by which time their milk teeth have emerged – and are weaned by six weeks. During the first weeks of development, the mother usually stays with her litter alone, but eventually most members of the pack will contribute to the rearing of the pups in some way.\n\nAfter two months, the restless pups will be moved to a rendezvous site, which gives them a safe place to reside while most of the adults go out to hunt. An adult or two will stay behind to ensure the safety of the pups. After a few more weeks, the pups are permitted to join the adults if they are able (they tag along as observers until about eight months, by which time they are large enough to actively participate), and will receive first dibs on anything killed, their low ranks notwithstanding. Letting the pups fight for the right to eat results in a secondary ranking being formed among them, and lets them practice the dominance/submission rituals that will be essential to their future survival in pack life.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf

I assume you mean for bovines. Cattle. Moo. \n\nIt is approximately 281 - 284 days. That is approximately 9 and a half months give or take.\n\nIt depends on the breed of cattle, sex and weight of the calf, parity and breeding season (PIEDRAFITA, Jesús; et al.; pp. 354, http://www.edpsciences.org/articles/animres/pdf/2000/04/z0406.pdf?access=ok)\n\nHere are some links with charts of gestation periods for various mammals including cattle -

A normal pregnancy in horses lasts approximately 11 months - around 340 days. Colt foals tend to be carried longer than fillies. Premature foals may be born and survive, with intensive care, after 310 days gestation. Foals may, on rare occasions, be carried three to four weeks over time.

Dolphins are born after a gestation period of 12 months. They are weaned at 9 months and become able to breed at the age of 8 years. The female dolphin will have one baby each year until she stops all breeding at the age of about 14 years. Life expectancy is 25 - 35 years.

The cougar is known by many common names, including puma, mountain lion, catamount, and panther. Next to the jaguar, it is the largest North American cat. Weights range from 80-225 pounds (36-103 kg), averaging 140 (64 kg). Length varies from 5-9 feet (150-275 cm); this measurement includes the 26-32 inch (66-82 cm) tail. Males are larger than females. Cougars have long, slender bodies and small, broad, round heads. Ears are short, erect and rounded. The short fur is usually tawny (brownish red-orange to light brown), more tan in the summer months and grayer during the winter. The muzzle, chin and underparts are a creamy white. Black coloring appears on the tip of the tail, behind the ears, and at the base of the whiskers on the sides of the muzzle. Immature cougars are paler, with obvious dark spots on their flanks.

>>>In the USA, cats have 9 lives<<<\n\nThat's what I thought too, when I was a little girl.  \n\nWe had a cat who died, and I thought, "It's okay ... he'll wake up soon because he still has 8 more lives left!"\n\nBut, of course, it didn't happen.   \n\nTook me a while to get over that one!

No, animals grow hair in response to temperature and daylength. They don't watch the calendar and decide that it;s time to grow a winter coat. Day length shortens and temperatures fall in Autumn in the southern hemisphere just as it does in the North. The names humans give to the months dont; alter those things.\n\n>>>>In the southern hemisphere Jan.-March are summer and\n>>>> July-Sept. are winter.\n\nMore commonly Dec-Feb are summer and Jun-Aug are winter.\n\n\n>>>>It can't be the temperature if he's an indoor cat and it's 70 degrees year round. \n\nIt can be if the temperature fluctuates at all between seasons. Animals usually respond to temperature changes, not to specific temperatures. Unless your house is heated to a constant 70 all winter and cooled to a constant 70 all summer, 24 hours a day, the cat could easily detect the differences.

the heart and lungs in a cat are pretty much similar to a humans. They are about the same size as very small plate, maybe about 5 inches long, 3-4 inches wide, and maybe only about 1-2 inches thick.  The heart is very near these, placed inbetween the lungs like in the human body.  The heart is somewhere between the size of a golf ball and a light bulb depending upon the size of the cat.
