Another pregnancy question. Gah. x.x

Yes, another one!  

Unfortunately, I have looked up and down the forums using 'search', and can't seem to find an answer to my question, and am thus forced to bring up another post. :P  So, sue me.  Atleast its not another in-depth look at the color and composition of urine.

What would be the average length of pregancies for NONHUMANS on Zalanthas? Elves, half-elves, dwarves, half-giants, halflings... do mantis' lay eggs? Etc., etc.

Keeping it simple and sticking to mammals, it's most likely roughly proportional to lifespan.

So figure gestation periods, in Zalanthan months, would be about:

Humans 2.25  (about 4.5 RL weeks)
Half-elves 2.5 (about 5 RL weeks)
Half-giants 2.7
Elves 3.0 (about 6 RL weeks)
Dwarves 3.3
Halflings 4.0 (about 8 RL weeks)
