How much sperm is conveyed in beaver during ejaculation?

07 July 2018 0 8K Report

Is there any knowledge about beaver ejaculation? How many sperm cells are conveyed and how many of them will survive in female and how many will actually reach the egg? Are the eggs in both tubes since beaver has usually 3 kits?
