There are many different species of mammals, as well as many different indivudual members of any species, and reproductive rates vary both by species and by individual (after all, people are also mammals, and not every person has the same number of children). The number of offspring per mammal therefore varies between zero and several hundred.

Mammals typically have a small number of offspring at a time, usually 1 to 6 offspring. This is because mammals usually invest more time and energy into nurturing and caring for their young compared to other animals.
