    What is the shortest gestation period in mammals?

    Question #2856. Asked by Carole. (May 27 00 9:03 PM)

    		I believe the shortest gestation period would be the hamster. A hamster's gestation period is only 16 days.

    		The shortest gestation period known is 12 to 13 days, shared by three marsupials (pouched mammals): the American opossum; the rare water opossum of central and northern South America; and the eastern native cat of Australia.
