Evolution being a change in a population over time and natural selection essentially coming down to survival of the fittest and being a key mechanism of evolution. In the case of seahorses, rather the 54 species of marine fishes in the genus Hippocampus, the male and female seahorses have evolved a series of unusual adaptations for the purpose of increasing their overall fitness.

Their habitat, predators, prey, life cycle, reproduction, and the human impact influence the way this species lives. The humans that poach these beautiful creatures need to learn to respect them.…
The living beings found in the mild backwoods environment are trees: makers, plants: makers, bugs: customers and decomposers, squirrels: buyers, deer: buyers, bears buyers, foxes: buyers, and winged animals: which purchasers and decomposers. The prizes of this biodiversity are the survival of life is sure and will keep up to live regarding the living being. Key supplements are supplied by vegetation eaten by herbivores that are then eaten via carnivores, which keep the natural way of life going. Makers, purchasers, and decomposers are the real three classes of living beings found in the calm timberland framework. Makers comprise of trees, bushes, grass wild blooms and a wide range of vegetation that gives certain supplements required for the…
