24. K-strategist



         This is a picture of a horse. A horse is an example of a k-strategist. K-strategists are animals that have fewer offspring, but the offspring have a greater chance of survival. They usually live in relatively stable habitats, have long life spans, and are larger in size. Horses have only one, sometimes two, foals at a time, and the mares care for their offspring for a long time. Because horses take care of their offspring, the foals have a high chance of survival and often go on to have long lives.
