20. r-strategist: R-strategy refers to the ecological strategy animals have when producing offspring. R-strategists tend to have more quantity vs quality when it comes to offspring. Most r-strategists have a short lifespan so as a result, the energy to produce offspring is low, the output of offspring is high, the offspring mature faster, and the size of the offspring stays small. Most reptiles, like the lizard in the picture, are r-strategists.
