It is a fallacy that any mammal has a gestation period of 8 days.
Two marsupials share the shortest gestation period. The Virginian opossum and the yapok (an unusual, rare water opossum) have a gestation period period of 12-13 days.
Several sources cite the Eastern quoll of Australia as also having a gestation period of anywhere between 8 and 13 days, but this is incorrect. The Eastern quoll's gestation period is 20-24 days.

∙ 9y agoMarsupials in general have short gestation periods since the babies are born into the pouch at a rather underdeveloped state. I think the shortest animal gestation period if I remember correctly is that of the opposum, it's 12-13 days long.
