How quickly can natural selection work? “The Making of the Fittest: Natural Selection and Adaptation” tells the story of a living example of Darwin’s process of natural selection and shows how quickly a trait can spread through a population when natural selective pressure is strong.
The rock pocket mouse shows how different genetic changes can lead to the same adaptation — a coat color that hides the rock pocket mice from predators, such as owls. Explore a classic case study in natural selection and evolution with your science students.

ANY ONE FROM PPHS HERE ?
No I’m in school
Biology classes aside, the Pocket Mouse is actually really cute
amazing video!
natural selection assignments be like
black mice matters.
representation at it's finest.
WHY DID THEY HAVE TO KILL ALL THOSE MICE ISN'T A SINGLE DNA SAMPLE ENOUGH FOR THESE GUYS
tegus 🥰🥰🥰
The intro song sound kinda familiar i just can't remember where it's from, cool video tho
Are these animals diurnal? Is there (I speculate yes) still a nocturnal advantage to being darker?
POV: You had to watch this for school
Who else is watching this with COVID
YALL THE BEGGINING OF THE INTO SONG WAS FROM A SONG TRACK FOR STAR IM SO SURPRISED!
My schools assignment question
Explain how natural selection caused a change in these organisms over time.
Natural selection is due to the change of environment, in this case, the predators were able to see the mice on the lava flow, so a random mutation was deemed favorable by survival rates, while the light mice got picked off the dark mice thrived and spreaded there genes to their offspring, and overtime dark mice ruled on the lava flows and light mice on the desert sands.
I watched this in my Biology class today xD
This is nothing more than species adaptation and not evidence for the fallacy of evolution.
What is the percentage of black mice in a population on predominately brown surface! I imagine their percent of random mutations must be small but more importantly their percent of survival is even smaller.
who else in bio right now
Negative video, not a vegan here but i can see where this can be uncomfortable for someone who does not eat meat. A mouse getting brutally torn apart by an owl without a warning??? R u kidding me? This is disgusting and can’t believe the publisher of this vid did not upload a blood warning. Disrespectful to the plant based community who would rather not see an animal being killed
Michael Nachman is hot.
Despite their name, pocket mice are not mice at all, they are members of the family Heteromyidae, which also includes the kangaroo rats and kangaroo mice, additionally heteromyids are the smallest rodents belonging to the suborder Sciuromorpha, meaning pocket mice are also more closely related to squirrels, beavers, and gophers than they are to mice, pocket mice only superficially resemble mice due to convergent evolution.
This is a great video, thank you for uploading this. It is the most simple and to-the-point explanation of natural selection there is, I use this every year with my class when teaching NS. Cheers!
Credits to the mice who gave their life for study
I need to know whats in the the chest behind the man in the blue shirt. I could be nothing. Absolutely nothing. But not knowing is killing me. I need to know. SHOW US THE BOX YOU COWARD! WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?!
It teaches humans the association of race and how diminutive the establishment of culture is when your in nature and need to adapt… nature accepts, divides, and procreates all living things and their variants much like racial divides and how people manufacture culture based on appearance rather than precedence.
here from science class gang
Can the creators reply after 6 years.
the guy with longer hair looks like john B's dad
If you're watching this masterpiece in 2021, you're a legend.
Biology class check 👩🔬🧬🔬
POV: Your in 7th grade watching this for science
since we're all watching this for school, anyone know what roll rock pocket mice play in the desert food web
Good ol biology class
2:47 is he…carrying around a dead mouse in a freezer bag….
not me just opening transcript:)
I always look through the comments when I watch a youtube video for school
so i see we're all being forced to watch this for biology
“Evolution is not random”
Literally 2 min later- “Evolution is random”
Who else is forced to watch this?
9th grade sucks 🙁
I don't want to grow up, I wanna go back to monkey
are yall disliking the video so it gets taken down or something lmao
bahaha so we’re all being forced to watch this
Ayo it's pierson watching this for biology class
Like if your from Mrs Murray’s class.
