 * 1) ===** Describe what happened to each type of fork bird over time. **===
 * 2) ===** Which fork bird was the most successful? Use your data to support your answer. **===
 * 3) ===** // Battling Beaks //simulates the idea of NATURAL SELECTION. Based on what you did in class, your data and questions 1 and 2, what do you suppose natural selection? **===
 * 4) ===** As a result of heavy rains, the major food source for fork birds is now blueberries. After many generations, how many types of fork birds do you think there will be? What will the fork birds look like? Explain your answer. **===
 * 5) ===** The cheetah, an extremely fast and efficient hunter, is an endangered species. The few cheetahs alive today show very little variation. How does this help to explain why cheetahs are on the verge of becoming extinct? **===

1- In our experiment the Fork Birds over time died and reincarnated into different types (1-Tine, 2-Tine, and 4- tine). After the Fork Bird generation changed into new Fork Birds we started to realize that the 4-Tine Fork Bird that was the best at surviving because it increased from zero to forty-six. And the Fork Bird that was terrible at surviving was the 2-Tine Fork Bird because it had decreased from ninety-five to thirty-four.Lastly the 1-Tine Fork Bird was in between because it went from zero to eight-teen.

2- The Fork Bird that was the most successful was the 4-Tine Fork Bird because it went from zero to forty-six.And the least successful was the 2-Tine Fork Bird because it started from ninety-five and dropped down to thirty-four, so that concludes that 2-Tine Fork Birds did not survive as well as 4-Tine Fork Birds. That also means that over time species adapt to different conditions.

3- Natural Selection means that over time, depending on the environment you are in, you adapt and change into a different form.

4- I think the Fork Bird would look almost the same because they can still use their tines to pick at the blueberries.There also might be a change in the amount of Fork Birds because if it rains they might not know how to protect themselves from a new and different environment.

5- Cheetahs are on verge of becoming extinct becaus ethere is only one type of cheetah and they are all the same. So if that kind of cheetah dies and goes extinct, they're gone forever. Unlike ants, were there are different types (red, black, etc.) there is only one kind of cheetah, so if the red ants go extinct, there are still balck ants.
