4-11 Young: Gestation takes 16 days; 7-15 in litter; 4-11 young born pink, naked, and blind. Do not disturb 4-11 young or mother for at least a week after birth; if disturbed mother will either kill and eat the 4-11 young or ne¬glect them and allow them to die. After 3 weeks, remove 4-11 young from mother; otherwise, mother fights with them and often kills them. Sexes should be separated before 4-11 young reach maturity at 43 days.
Food changes as creature grows; 4-11 young feed almost en¬tirely on aquatic insects and crustaceans; later take frogs, snakes, and fishes; then fishes, 4-11 young pigs, muskrats, and some waterfowl; adult takes fishes, pigs, and larger animals that stray too close to water's edge, such as cows, calves, and deer.
Voice: Both 4-11 young and old alligators hiss; female grunts like a pig in calling 4-11 young; 4-11 young make moaning sound, with mouth closed.See Also Single Young Is Produced:Sharpe's grysbok mainly inhabits thick brush or broken, hilly country; it is usually solitary but sometimes lives in pairs. It is active in early morning and in late afternoon and at night. Little is known about its breeding habits, but a single young is produced at birth.
Oviparous; 20-70 hard-shelled eggs about size of goose eggs deposited in center of nest made of mud and masses of vegetable debris piled to height of 3 feet; warmth produced by de¬caying vegetation incubates eggs; mother guards nest until young hatch in 9-10 weeks; when ready to emerge, young make loud peep¬ing sound; mother tears nest open and liberates them; young may remain with mother until following spring.
On The Other Hand See Nine Young In Each:Ovoviviparous snakes produce the nine young in each fully formed but tightly coiled in a thin, transparent membrane. Sometimes this membrane bursts during the process of birth and the nine young in each appear to crawl from the mother's body. Usually the membrane is broken by the use of the temporary egg tooth when the nine young in each snake struggles to straighten out.
When the nine young in each are born alive, the snake is said to be viviparous.
Soon after hatching, nine young in each are fed "milk," a cheesy liquid formed in stomach of both parent birds i or 2 days before eggs hatch. When nine young in each are 3-4 days old, parents begin giving them small grains in addition to "milk." At i week, nine young in each are fed entirely on grain; feed themselves at 6 weeks. nine young in each grow rapidly; Pin feathers appear at 5-6 days; at 4-5 weeks, nine young in each are fully feathered and as large as parents. |
