We get asked all the time what the difference between a design and utility patent is. Instead of reading some boring definition from a patent attorney, weâll give you an anology to help you understand the difference. Think of a toaster.
Gestation and Birth. The gestation period for zebra reproduction takes around 12 to 13 months. Similar to horses, the foal will be able to stand up and walk just a few minutes after it is born. In fact, after only 15 minutes, the foal can walk and after one hour, it will be able to run.
If you know the date your mare or jennet was bred, it's a little easier to calculate. Mares have an average gestation time of 340 days or approximately 11 months, though some people have reported that when a mare is carrying a mule foal she may go a week or two longer. Here is a handy charge for calculating when your mare should be due: Donkey jennets have an average gestation of 365 days or 12 months, though there have been occasional cases of a donkey giving birth to a healthy foal as early as 10 1/2 months or as late as 14 1/2 months from her last breeding date.
