Exercise 2. Read the passage carefully.
Animals that produce large amount of offspring depend upon the sheer size of the litter for the perpetuation
of their species. The young mature very quickly and are not educated, as the parents are usually involved with
obtaining their own food and with reproduction. Should some of the offspring become endangered, the parents
will not interfere, because it is not expected that all the young survive, which is a reason for a large litter.
One animal that produces large litter is the hamster. A female hamster is able to bear young when she was six
weeks to two months old. The gestation period is about 16 days. Although an average litter size is from five to
ten, hamster commonly has as few as three or as many as a dozen offsprings at a time. Mothers will
sometimes eat their own young, particularly when the number of offspring is large. Female may produce litters
up to an age of about 15 months at monthly intervals. The blind, hairless young begin to grow fur in two to
three days. Their eyes open after about two weeks. After ten days they began eating solid food, though the
mother will continue to nurse them for about two more weeks. In captivity, a typical hamster may live for two
to three years
