We get asked all the time what the difference between a design and utility patent is. Instead of reading some boring definition from a patent attorney, weâll give you an anology to help you understand the difference. Think of a toaster.
Gestation and Birth. The gestation period for zebra reproduction takes around 12 to 13 months. Similar to horses, the foal will be able to stand up and walk just a few minutes after it is born. In fact, after only 15 minutes, the foal can walk and after one hour, it will be able to run.
Duration [edit]. For most species, the amount a fetus grows before birth determines the length of the gestation period. Smaller species normally have a shorter gestation period than larger animals. For example, a cat's gestation normally takes 58â65 days while an elephant's takes nearly 2 years (21 months).However, growth does not necessarily determine the length of gestation for all species, especially for those with a breeding season.maller species normally have a shorter gestation period than larger animals.
