Sea turtles‚ for example‚ don’t stay with their young and never get the chance to teach them essential survival techniques. As a result‚ a large number of newly hatched sea turtles don’t even make it to sea. There is a large mortality rate for newborn sea turtles because they have to learn everything on their own‚ and one false step could mean death. However‚ once turtles form a group‚ mortality rates lower because they

They argue this because couples are not having children to replace the ones they have lost in infancy‚ as infant death is much rarer. In 1990‚ 15% of babies born died before their first birthday. Today‚ the infant mortality rate stands at only 5%‚a great decrease from 1990. The decline in infant mortality rate is linked to a number of factors including improved healthcare‚
