50 babies

May 7th, 2011 § 1,154 comments

Here is a guppy! A female guppy can hold all her babies (up to 50) inside her body for an average of 28 days. It is even possible to see the eyes of this livebearer’s babies through her skin. Once they are born, they are able to swim freely, eat and avoid predation. It sounds like a nightmare, but she’s ready to mate within a few hours of giving birth…so she must not think so.
