Question

The shown pictures are beaks of a particular type of bird seen in an island during Darwin's journey.

Identify the bird and name the island.

Answer 1

The name of the bird is finch and the name of the island is Galapagos island. Darwin observed amazing diversity among the creatures which originated from a particular geographical area and radiated to the other habitat. The diversity in the type of beaks of finches adapted to different feeding habits on the Galapagos islands is considered as an example of adaptive radiation and serves as an evidence for the origin of species by natural selection.
