The Making of the Fittest: Natural Selection and Adaptation

A tiny creature battles against overwhelming odds in the unforgiving terrain of the American Southwest, fighting to stay alive.

Evolution is an ongoing process, with adaptive changes occurring rapidly in populations. This is crucial for species like the rock pocket mouse, which must adapt quickly to changing environments, such as the sudden reversal of selective pressure caused by a volcanic eruption.
