The wonderful animal kingdom is full of fascinating creatures, and one of the most beautiful and amazing stages of animal life is pregnancy. In this Dolphin Discovery blog, we will tell you how long the pregnancy of Marine Mammals lasts, specifically of three species: the Manatee, the Sea Lion, and the Dolphin. Join us on this journey full of curiosities and discoveries.
Marine Mammals have adapted to life in the sea, have lungs, give birth, and nurse their young. That is why pregnancy of Marine Mammals is such an amazing event.
Pregnancy of Marine Mammals: Species at Dolphin Discovery
How is the pregnancy of Manatees?
The pregnancy of the Sea Lions
These magnificent Mammals are found in cold and warm waters, the agile Sea Lions. The pregnancy of a female Sea Lion can last around 12 months. During gestation, the mother’s diet must consist of high-fat fish, which is necessary for fetal development.
How long is the pregnancy of the Dolphins?
Dolphins are one of our favorite species, and through time, observation, and research on their anatomy, health, and nature, we have learned fascinating facts about them.
Although the duration of pregnancy of Marine Mammals varies between marine species, they all share the incredible biological phenomenon of giving life to new generations. These Marine Mammals show us the maternal instinct and the importance of caring for and protecting their young.
