K-strategy refers to a reproductive strategy observed in certain species, particularly in ecology. It is characterized by producing fewer offspring but investing significant time and resources into raising them. This approach often leads to higher survival rates for the young, as parents provide care and protection. Species that exhibit K-strategy typically thrive in stable environments where competition for resources is high. Examples include elephants, humans, and whales. These organisms tend to have longer lifespans and reach maturity slowly, allowing them to develop strong parental bonds and social structures.
