Finch

Perhaps one of the finest examples of evolution in action were the finches of the Galapagos Islands. Each island had a different species of finch, and each species of finch had a different sized beak. The finches with the largest beak lived on an island with plenty of hard nuts, while the smallest-beaked finch lived on an island where the main food source was insects. This showed how well these birds had adapted to their environment.
