K-Strategist

This is an oak tree from the front yard of a house in my neighborhood.  A k-strategist is an animal that produces few offspring that require a large amount of energy to produce and raise.  They have longer life expectancies ( compared to r-strategists) and can reproduce more than once.  An oak tree takes multiple years before it is mature enough to reproduce.  Oak trees reproduce for many years and have a life expectancy of hundreds of years.
