R-Strategist: bunnies

R-Strategist animals are the species that reproduce early in their life span and produce large numbers of usually small and short-lived offspring in a short period. The breeding season for most rabbits lasts 9 months, with the normal gestation period of about 30 days. At the age of 6 months, the females can begin to have the babies.  The average size of the litter varies but is usually between 4 and 12 babies, with larger breeds having larger litters. This means that in one season a single female rabbit can produce as many as 800 children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
