Do all mammals got pregnant the same way people get pregnant?

Question

please only answer this if you truely know for sure.

Answer 1

Not really. I mean, they have sex and the baby lives in the womb until it's born (or babies, if it's a litter), but it's a slightly different process.

Humans generally go "into heat" (ovulate) once a month. More or less. Some mammals only go into estrus (heat) once or twice a year, some more. But when, say, a dog goes in heat, there is a discharge, sometimes bleeding from the vagina. In a woman, bleeding usually means that the uterine lining is shedding (menstruation). So the discharge means some animals are ready to mate, but it means a human didn't get pregnant when she ovulated that cycle. (But you CAN get pregnant while you're ovulating, women! Not likely, but possible!)

Also, some animals have a tricky little process whereby they keep embryos until the time is right for gestation. Take some bears--they mate, keep the embryos till they hibernate, gestate during hibernation, and give birth while still hibernating or soon after. That way, they mate when the weather's nice and gestate during the nasty winter months.

Also, some mammals have pouches (like possums and kangaroos) and their babies are born waaaaaayyy early, then make their way to the pouch to feed and continue growing. Most mammal babies are pretty well-formed at birth. Some babies are precocious, meaning they can get up and move around at birth (think, a horse or deer.) Some are altricial, meaning they're weak and pitiful and can't do much of anything at birth (think, human babies.) Also, gestation periods vary wildly, from a relatively quick pregnancy for a mouse and a long-term pregnancy for a human or elephant.

But the basics are pretty similar.

Answer 2

The mechanics of sex for all mammals is the same.

Birds, reptiles, fish, insects... that's another story. But all mammals do it essentially the same way.

Answer 3

in a way yes, but in a way, no
they get pregnant, but obviously, mating, but they all mate in different ways,
so the male lets the sperm into the woman's uterus, and if it connects with an egg, then the woman is pregnant, does that solve your question?

Answer 4

NO

Answer 5

DUH!!!
