Is a rhino K or R strategist?
The rhino is a K-strategist. K-strategists are species that have evolved to produce a smaller number of offspring, but they invest heavily in each individual. This means they take longer to reach reproductive maturity, but they are generally larger, more robust, and have a higher survival rate than r-strategists. K-strategists also typically live in stable environments, where there are plenty of resources to support their offspring. Rhinos are K-strategists because they produce only one offspring at a time, and those offspring take many years to reach reproductive maturity.
