Research gestation and mating. Find out three other mammals' gestation periods and mating rituals. How long is the gestation period, how do the mates court each other, and do they mate for life? What are some other interesting facts? Choose any three mammals you are interested in and use any sources you like. Write a three-paragraph essay comparing the gestation period of the three animals.

For an extra challenge, see if you can find out if any mammal has a shorter gestation period than mice or a longer one than Asian elephants.
