ARTexplains Science and History | Are Rabbits the Fastest Breeding Animal? No! @ARTexplains | Uploaded August 2015 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Rabbits have earned the title of reproduction champions, but do they deserve it? Introducing some new contenders: bandicoots, salps, aphids and more.
Just how good are rabbits at reproduction? What other creatures deserve to be known for breeding abilities? How many rabbits could two rabbits become under perfect conditions? What are telescoping generations?
