They went behind a rock and decided to start a family.
Tina laid many eggs. More were born than can possibly survive.
Natural resources are limited.
Sammy the Snake Enjoys eating tortoise eggs and baby tortoise.
• Only a few of the eggs survived to hatch into baby tortoise.
No two individuals were alike and baby Todd had this weird shell on his back.

• Variation is inheritable and most of the offspring also had this shell.
• Todd Jr. bumped into Sammy the snake one day as an adult tortoise.
Todd’s hard shell made it very difficult for Sammy to eat him.
Shelled tortoise began surviving more often and were able to reproduce.
Overtime, more shelled tortoise survived because nature selected their shell for survival.
• Their offspring were also shelled. A new species was eventually born.
