K-strategist


Characteristics of K-strategist organisms are longer lived lives, a smaller population, they reproduce later in life, and they have few offspring with longer generation time. The offspring is usually developed inside the mother, are fairly large, and mature slowly. Some examples of these organisms are humans, elephants, whales, kangaroos, and lions. Also oak, maple, sycamore, and many large trees are K-strategist.
