Gestation period

I have added several mammals to the list, however, most of the papers I found only show the average gestation period (there's no maximum & minimum period). Should I get rid the maximum & minimum column? As also it has been debated before in previous talk page that maximum & minimum can be various depends on the individual of the mammals.

Yes, there aren't really max and min (well, zero), there's a standard deviation ...

I note that Aristotle proposed a relationship between gestation and body mass, so it'd be interesting to have mass in there. Oh, and every entry should be cited; and it isn't done to talk about Wikipedia articles in an article, except perhaps with a link in a footnote. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:42, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for your help. Yes, it's a great idea to be added to the list. Do you think it will be better if I put more column that mention about the IUCN status of the mammals? ToastedPeanutButter (talk) 03:24, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
