The Zorrilla Reproduction

  The zorilla pups are born, blind, naked and immobile after a 37 day gestation.  The eyes are functional at about 40 days.  The  litter size is 1 to 4 pups.  Females mature faster that males.  The pups weigh ½ ounce when their born.  They are weaned at 4 to 5 months of age.  Females are fertile by 9 months. They can be out with their first litter of two to four young before they are 1 years old.  Zorilla lifespan in the wild is unknown, but Zorillas can live up to 13 years in captivity.
