25 Animals With Really Long Gestation Times

Tapir:  A tapir takes about 13 months to be born into this world, seems like a long time.


Walrus
: How does a gestation period of 15 months sound? That is how long a walrus takes to deliver the good news.

Zebra:  A zebra takes about 12 to 13 months to be born. One can only assume that the stripes must be taking the extra time

Killer Whale: These Killer whales have a gestation period of 17 to 18 months which means they are pregnant for almost a year and half


Camel
: A camel carries its baby for 13 to 14 months. So more than a year with the bump and the hump and then on only the hump


Manatee: Manatees  carry their babies for 12 months and that probably is the reason that they refuse to move faster than they do.

I am using it to help the illustrator understand why it is taking us so long......
