Discussion
- males and females assumed to have same parameters although slight differences are reported in maximum size and age at maturity have been reported in KrafKova2006.
- The parameter t_0 is fixed at 2.5 months (treated as an observation).
Facts
- The total gestation time includes 3.5 months of delayed implantation. (Ref: AnAge)
- no (or very little) dimorphism between sexes (Ref: KrafKova2006)
