Cougars become sexually mature at about 24 months of age. However, sexually mature cougars seldom breed until they have established a home range. Cougars have a gestation period of approximately 92 days. They will generally give birth to between one and four kittens, although two or three is typical. Kittens (also called cubs) weigh just over a pound at birth. Until they are two weeks old the kittenâs eyes and ears are closed.
Gestation. Giraffes are pregnant for a period between 14 and 15 months, or 453 to 464 days, one of longest gestation periods in the animal kingdom. Giraffes usually give birth to one offspring at a time, although twins are born occasionally. Because the gestation period is so long, the giraffe won't give birth to another baby for 16 months or more.
