An Aslan female can potentially birth 12 kittens per year, and an Aslan male is likely to maintain two-four breeding age females while capable of reproduction. That is a lot of mouths to feed, who it seems are not as omnivorous as Humanity. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That's why I found it so interesting, when, in SJG's timeline, the Imperial Aslan who was a Sector Duke out in the SolRim died w/o 'issue'. Or at least any legit heirs. That seemed to me to be almost impossibly improbable. However, it did allow for the question of succession to be explored thru SJG's TNS dispatches. ==================================================================================================== ----- The Traveller Mailing List Archives at http://archives.simplelists.com/tml Report problems to xxxxxx@travellercentral.com To unsubscribe from this list please goto http://archives.simplelists.com ----- The Traveller Mailing List Archives at http://archives.simplelists.com/tml Report problems to xxxxxx@travellercentral.com To unsubscribe from this list please goto http://www.simplelists.com/confirm.php?u=EwREIRgLK8vaUEhNlnoNdSGKwnjoID8a
