All organisms that are viviparous give many resources to their offspring as they develop in utero. This high energy and resource investment in the young means that they are K-strategists.

Viviparity (giving birth to live young) does not automatically classify an organism as a K-strategist. K-strategists are characterized by long lifespans, fewer offspring with high investment in each, and stable environments, but viviparity can also be found in r-strategists, which produce many offspring with less investment in each. The strategy depends on the overall life history strategy of the species, not just the mode of reproduction.
