Natural Selection Comic Strip (Edited)
Storyboard Tekst
- Adaptation: The Change Begins
- Overproduction: The Horror!
- Too many of us right? Well, in nature, creatures tend to produce more off springs than necessary to survive. This overproduction is the first step in natural selection.
- Natural Selection: Continuing the Legacy
- Competition: The Fight!
- Resources, like food, are limited since there are so many of us. We have no choice but to fight for what we want.
- "Back off! ,That cricket is mine (snarled the Toucan). Toucan (Two-can) play that game".
- Variation: Understanding the Enemy
- Speciation: The Possibilities
- My beak helps me get fruits as well as blend in. This is a trait I shall pass to my offspring.
- My beak also helps me blend into the canopy, but not as well. Predators can see me easily as well, so toucans like me have to be careful.This is something I shall pass.
- My short beak does not help me keep as warm, when I tuck it into my wings. I am not well suited to this environment.
- My long beak helps keep me warm (thermal regulation), when I tuck it into my wings.This helps to have a better chance of survival.
- Of course we were not always like this. Over the course of several years, we have evolved (changed) and adapted to our surroundings . Favorable traits that I inherit , prove that I am more likely to survive and produce off springs. In doing so, I shall pass my traits to the next generation. This is called natural selection.
- This is also referred to as "survival of the fittest".It means that the strongest tend to survive longer while the weaker don't.
- As the traits are continued being passed down to generation, it opens a new window; a possibility on how many new species can form. The unfavorable traits disappear as well. Think how many different types of toucans are there!
