Answer 1

because out in the wild if they can breed faster its better for survival, and safety in numbers!

Answer 2

Elephants are pregnant for over a year. It's due to size really. It takes a lot of work to make a baby elephant that weighs 200 pounds at birth!

It depends on the type of organism.  We are all different.
