Discussion
- males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} only
- very fast growth from birth to weaning, which is not captured with single food
- post-foetal growth suggests that gestion lasts 3 times the observed value. Either the foetus develops much faster than predicted or observed gestation is too short; observed gestation time is ignored
- mod_1: males have equal state variables at b, compared to females
Facts
- largest life span among mammals (Ref: AnAge)
- largest mouth among animals (Ref: Wiki)
