As she explains in this video, in many species, including moths, the most common individuals are chosen as mates and the on

In this video you will learn how weird and wonderful animals are formed in the process of speciation and the formation of new species. Different selection pressures select for different characteristics. Over generations, the individuals with the beneficial traits will prosper, and others will die
Camels are specially adapted for life in the desert. Their body shape and physiology has adapted to suit the harsh environment. Over thousands and thousands of years, the environment has put extreme selection pressures on camels, and they have adapted accordingly to the animal that we see today. JO
