Ok so to be fair to biology the shape of the curve matters if you want to understand the mode of life and reproduction of the organism. It can be steady and sharply decrease like humans, or it can sharply decrease and then level off in adulthood like turtles. This illustrates different survival strategies: having a few offspring and investing a lot of energy into them so they survive or having a lot of offspring and relying on statistics to ensure a few of them survive. Then you have the worst case, like fish (and in this case, deer apparently), where the likelihood of death is constant throughout your life so it basically sucks the whole way through.

I mean, it got the point across and you know they laugh about that every time they think of it.

Oh Deer !
