A normal llama pregnancy can vary quite a bit and still result in a full-term cria (cria = baby llama). The average full-term pregnancy is 11.5 months, but can vary from 10.5 to 13 months.

The gestation period is 11-1/2 months (350 days average). The tendency is to go a bit longer for spring births, and shorter for autumn births. Llamas can control the time of birth +- a week or two. 98% of llamas are born during daylight hours, typically midmorning.

to 23 days. She will not begin to show her pregnancy until the third week, and will not be interested in nest building until the day before or the day she gives birth. Pregnancy and nursing require a lot of nutrients. A good quality dry kitten food, such as Iams and Nutro, will give her the extra protein and fat her body needs at this time. Be sure she also has plenty of her normal diet and water available at all times.

Under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 (MMPA), coastal Alaska Natives living along the North Pacific or Arctic Ocean are the only people who may harvest sea otters. When the act was passed, Congress recognized the cultural importance of marine mammals to Alaska Native peoples, and included an Alaska Native exemption for their take for subsistence or handicraft, provided that marine mammals are not taken in a wasteful manner.

No. There is no gestation period. Reproduction and birth are immediate. The real gestation and sexual maturity periods are compensated for in the game by the birth rate.

Through body contact, nosing one another, head-jerking and vocalizations. Sea otters, in comparison to sea lions, for example, are not extremely vocal animals. However, adults use a soft, low cooing sound, and grunts to exhibit "contentedness," among other things. Pups use a high-pitch squeal to communicate with their mom. Some other sounds in the vocal repertoire of sea otters include whistles, whimpers, squeaks, whines, growls, snarls and hisses.

All sea otters in the United States are classified as "depleted" under the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act. The California sea otter is also listed under state law as a "fully protected mammal."

Abalone, squid, snails and other molluscs; clams; mussels; crabs; lobster; urchins; sea stars; sea cucumbers; chitons; marine worms; and about 40 other marine invertebrates; and on occasion, marine birds; and in Alaska, certain fish.

Sea otters generally do not spend more than two or three minutes diving for food. They use their sensitive paws, whiskers and vision to make their way through the water to find food. Sea otters then return to the surface with their prey, lie on their backs, place the food on their chests and break open the prey using a tool of some kind (rock, bottle, etc.).

Sea otters are considered to be "opportunistic feeders" – that is, they feed on many prey items. They are carnivores, and, at times, omnivorous, meaning they feed on both animal and plant food. They are the top-end predator in the nearshore marine ecosystem.

Great white sharks are the primary predator in California. Ongoing studies in Alaska recently revealed that orcas (killer whales) are eating more and more sea otters in that region, possibly because the usual prey (seals and sea lions) are in decline. Other factors that may be influencing the orcas to eat more sea otters may include natural disturbances to the ecosystem that occur over space and time, as well as overfishing.

Sea otters have three basic ways to escape predators: fleeing; taking refuge in the kelp where they live; and coming up on land. They also have strong teeth they can use in interactions with other sea otters.

California sea otters average 4 feet in length and 50-60 pounds in weight. Northern sea otters are slightly larger.

There are no U.S. Federal government restrictions on the taking of sea otters for coastal Alaska Native subsistence as long as such practices do not contribute to the demise of the species. However, any Alaska Native Tribal Government has the ability to develop regulations on when and where hunts may occur. It is important to check with the local Tribal government to see if any regulations exist.

The rule is one inch of fish per gallon for fresh water...so that's five inches of fish for a five gallon tank. Hello, I am writing for my mother, we have a 33 gallon fish tank and the water is kind of a greenish yellow tint. We are not experts at tanks even though we have had fish for about eight years. Please help us because she is driving me crazy with this thing. PS we have tropical fish and they are in tep water.---Tubagirl Add some activated charcoal to your filtration.

The average gestation period for a whitetail deer is 200 days. But, just like people, this time period can vary from 183 to 208 days. Thus, assuming that a doe is bred on November 14, the expected birth date is June 2. This is why biologists always say that a doe will drop her fawns near the end of May to the beginning of June. This concides with the time that native vegatation is most succulent and nutritious.

Females usually have one calf every three years. Gestation (pregnancy) is about 13 months. Most calves are born during August.
