The success of a species depends on the number of offspring that survive long enough to reproduce.
(Explanation)
The success of a species depends on the number of offspring that survive long enough to reproduce, not just the number of offspring produced at a time or even in a lifetime. A penguin who has only one young can devote a lot of time, attention, and care to it, greatly increasing its chances of surviving long enough for it, too, to reproduce. An octopus, on the other hand, usually dies shortly after reproducing. A young octopus has no parent to protect or teach it, so the vast majority of octopi do not survive long enough to reproduce.
