Animal Growth - Results Tables
Science Resource Description
The first table provides a comparative overview of the gestation periods of various animals, measured in months. This table is an essential resource for understanding the reproductive biology of different species, highlighting the duration from conception to birth. The gestation period, which varies significantly across the animal kingdom, is a fundamental aspect of an animal's life cycle and reproductive strategy. Such data is crucial for zoologists, veterinarians, and animal conservationists who study and manage wildlife populations.
The second table delves into human development, charting the growth of different body parts as children age. It lists the pupil's age in months alongside corresponding measurements in centimetres for height, arm length, leg length, and foot length. Each body measurement is also assigned a rank, indicating the relative growth rate or size compared to peers. This table is a valuable tool for paediatricians, educators, and researchers in tracking and analysing the physical development of children, helping to ensure that growth patterns fall within healthy ranges and identifying any potential growth-related issues.
