P.427 left column bottom paragraph: "Whereas altricial rodents (such as rats) have relatively brief gestation periods (∼21 d), precocial rodents (such as guinea pigs) have much longer gestation periods (∼65 d) (primary source). Unlike rats, guinea pigs are able to walk and see at birth, suggesting that guinea pigs are born with a more developed brain." |
