What mammal can deliver the most young in one birthing in addition to rodents?

I know that rodents such as mice and rats can deliver many offspring, but I want to know which one gives off the MOST in addition to them.What mammal can deliver the most young in one birthing in addition to rodents?
The above answer is right; the record litter size among wild mammals goes to the tailless tenrec, but according to the sources I found, the maximum record is 31 (of which 30 survived), not 32. However, the average n潞 of young is approx. 15.





The next largest litters correspond to some opossums (20 young), the ermine (a carnivore) with 18 kits, and the rest are rodents (with a maximum of 15 pups for some rat species).








Among domestic breeds (many of which have been selected to be prolific) the record belongs to a domestic mouse with 34 pups (33 of them survived.)





See the sources :-)What mammal can deliver the most young in one birthing in addition to rodents?
pigs, and dogs, pop into mind.
A common tenrec can lay up to 32 babies at one time, the most of any mammal in the world.

platypus?? i know theyre the only mammal to lay eggs... i dunno how many though... dogs can have quite a few puppies... cats, too... it seems the smaller they are, the more they can have... just an observation... but some small mammals only have one or two... monkeys... :)
