"A Long Childhood" Webquest
Use the links below to choose an animal and then to help find information about the animal that you chose to compare the length of childhood to human children.
Make sure to look for the following information:
- Length of pregnancy (gestation)
- Length of time young nurse or get food on their own (age at weaning)
- Age of sexual maturity (age that an individual is able to reproduce)
Record your data in your data table, as seen in Figure 1.5 on p. 32 so it can be shared with the class.
