Journal of medical primatology, 1986•Wiley Online LibraryA breeding group of vervet monkeys produced 95 offspring over five years. Fetal wastage for
114 pregnancies was 16.7%. Uterine sizes were recorded for 103 pregnancies in various
stages of gestation. This enabled diagnosis of pregnancy, estimation of stage of gestation,
and prediction of parturition to within two weeks. Detailed observations were made on dental
eruption, pelage development, and growth of 57 infants.
