Yep, I think you must have mis-typed into Google. I recognised the beast but had to use Google to check the spelling myself.

And are you saying it gave birth after being alone for 7 months?

Edit: Just googled a bit more and it says gestation period is 6 to 9 months. That is an interesting animal you have there!
