An organism that does not reproduce will eventually die out with the aging and death of its individuals. Many species reproduce rapidly and in large numbers to ensure the survival of enough adults to maintain the population.

Some species do this because their offspring typically do not have a very long life expectancy, so to counter this, they produce large amounts so that the ones that do survive can continue to reproduce.

Their system also allows them to make more babies than others and the other factor is their reproductive cycle e.g cycle of elephant is 2 years long, where as human cycle is 9 months long, so humans will produce 2 babies in the time elephant will make one.
