Species Evolution

This is Alberto the penguin. There is something unique about Alberto. He noticed at one point he had bigger feet and a bigger fin than the rest of the other penguins. This variety in style made him think initially that this was bad but later he learns the truth.

Later in the day it is feeding time and all the penguins go to swim and catch their prey. Alberto unknowingly gets his food much faster than all of the other penguins. He swam much faster than them and it resulted in him eating first.

As Alberto sits on the sidelines and does his victory dance, he realizes that he was done catching his food much faster than all of the other penguins. Due to his trait, he was able to get food faster and have a much better chance of survival than the rest.

Outrunning the seals, Alberto swims away with his life. He had out run and out swam the seals. These traits and abilities let him survive. Natural selection has been in his favor all this time because unlike the other penguins, he had special traits that let him live.

Oh no! The species is being attacked by one of their ultimate predators, the leopard seal! They may not look like the most deadly killers, but these things are very dangerous for the penguins. While running away, Alberto's larger feet give him an advantage in speed.

Now here they are, the penguins in their natural habitat. As all of the penguins chill in their environment, the species has evolved to everyone having bigger feet and a longer fin. Alberto survived and reproduced to make this outcome a reality.
