Archaeopteryx Natural Selection The picture below shows the camouflage of a moth, and which one would have a better chance of surviving in the different environments. On the left side of each picture, the white moth has better camouflage, so that one would most likely survive. On the illustration on the right, the black moth would most likely survive, due to the black area surrounding the moth.

SHAPETYPEADAPTATION GraspingRaptors like Osprey use their large curved claws to snatch fish from the water. ScratchingPheasants and other birds that scratch the soil for food have nail-like toes. SwimmingDucks and other webbed lined swimming birds use their feet like paddles. PerchingRobins have a long back toe, which lets them grab a perch tightly. RunningMany fast-running birds have three toes rather than four. ClimbingA woodpecker's hind toes enable it to climb without falling backward. The chart above explains the adaptations of birds’ feet. It shows the different types of bird feet and why they are like that, due to the bird’s habitat.
