 Double Helix

Elephants take good care of their offspring for two years after their birth. They are at low risk of  death because of this close care from their parent. Therefore, only a few need to be born at a time to ensure survival of the species. Turtles, are not cared for after birth. Most baby turtles die within a few days of birth. Their birth numbers are higher to ensure their survival.
