Deer are what type of population strategists?

Deer are considered to exhibit an r-selection reproductive strategy. This strategy is characterized by producing a large number of offspring, with minimal parental investment, increasing the chances of at least some offspring surviving in unpredictable, fluctuating environments with high mortality rates and abundant resources at certain times. Therefore, deer fit the description of being r-selection strategists due to their emphasis on high reproductive rates over individual investment per offspring.
