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
When a plant or animal species that once lived stops existing entirely, we say that that species has become extinct. Why do certain species of plants and animals sometimes become extinct? According to the theory of evolution, individuals of the same species show a range of variations. Some individ

The theory of evolution states that individuals within a species show wide degrees of variation, and those individuals with characteristics best suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. This theory grew from studying the variations and similarities in living animals and
