Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Type I survivorship curves are characterized by high survival rates of the young, with most mortality occurring among older individuals. This pattern is typical of species that invest heavily in a few offspring, providing them with care and protection, which includes humans, horses, and chimpanzees, but not mice. Mice exhibit a Type III survivorship curve, where there is a high mortality rate early in life.
