 * 1) Describe what happened to each type of fork bird over time.
 * 2) Which fork bird was the most successful? Use your data to support your answer.
 * 3) Battling Beaks simulates the idea of NATURAL SELECTION. Based on what you did in class, your data and questions 1 and 2, what do you suppose natural selection?
 * 4) As a result of heavy rains, the major food source for fork birds is now blueberries. After many generations, how many types of fork birds do you think there will be? What will the fork birds look like? Explain your answer.
 * 5) The cheetah, an extremely fast and efficient hunter, is an endangered species. The few cheetahs alive today show very little variation. How does this help to explain why cheetahs are on the verge of becoming extinct?

 1. The number of tines changed over time to the generation of fork birds. Then as time passed the fork birds could not pick up the food like they used to, because they were not cooperating. And at the end, there were no more generations, because the food always fell on the ground. The two tined fork bird population decreased but it was still intact. The one tined fork bird population increased, but not as much. The 4 tined fork bird population won at the end, towering over the other fork birds.

2. The 4 tined fork bird was the most successful because the data showed it ate more food than the other tined birds.

3. Natural Selection is the process in which animals and plants having traits that better help them to adapt (adjust) to specific environmental problems such as predators, getting food, changes in climate, or competing for food or mates, and they will tend to survive and reproduce in greater numbers than others of their kind and their ongoing generation.

4. The fork birds will not adjust to their habitat and the fork birds will eventually become extinct. Blueberries are not the fork birds natural food, the fork birds would probably be blue...

5. No more generations can be made if there is little variation
