Mosquitoes have r reproductive strategy while elephants have k reproductive strategy. R strategy requires that the organism reproduces exponentially while they have a short life span and little care for offspring by parents. K strategy have low reproductive rates while their organisms have long life-spans and offsprings are cared for by their parents.

Mosquitos are an example of organisms with r-reproduction strategy. This means that they tend to overproduce, have many offspring , but do not provide care for them. This happens because those organisms  live in unstable, unpredictable environments, so rapid reproducing is very important. R strategy helps them produce a huge number of offspring, because at least some of them will survive to reproduce.  

Elephants are an example of organisms with k-reproduction strategy, meaning that they have few offspring at a time, take care of them and have a long live span. These organisms occupy more stable environments, usually are stronger, better protected and more energy efficient. Their reproductive strategy is to grow slowly and to produce offspring with high probability of survival.

Adult elephants have few natural predators. However, baby elephants are too small to defend themselves from predators. Therefore, adults protect their young through herding and by raising them until they are strong enough to survive on their own. Mosquitoes produce a large number of offspring to make up for their short life span and the high risk of predation.
