How An Invasive Snail May Save An Endangered Bird

The video explores the concept of evolution, using the example of the snail kite, a bird of prey that has adapted to environmental changes in the Florida Everglades. The introduction of the invasive island apple snail posed a threat to the snail kite's survival, but the bird demonstrated phenotypic plasticity, allowing it to adapt without genetic changes. This adaptation highlights the ongoing process of evolution and the role of environmental pressures in shaping species.
