How an Organisms Inability to Adapt Causes Extinction

     Hello! My name is Mason Walsh! And today I'm here to teach you how an organisms inability to adapt to its environment can lead to extinction. Well an organisms inability to adapt is really based a lot of it's anatomical features. For example. Some organisms such as lizards have been around since dinosaur times. The reason being is they can survive on land and in the water. So if there was a flood for example, the lizard would be okay because it would still survive in the water. And if there was a drought, the lizard would be able to cooperate on land and function enough to find it's on water no matter how plentiful it is. Now look at a Tecopa Pupfish. The Tecopa Pupfish could only function in water and is not able to adapt to breathing regular oxygen. So when there is a drought and all the water drys up, the Tecopa Pupfish was unable to reproduce, breathe, or function without the water. That is why the Tecopa Pupfish is extinct today. This example is just one of many examples of how if a species of animals is unable to adapt to their environment how quickly they can go extinct. Have a great day people of Blogger! :D
