LIFE THE CREATIVE METAMORPHOSIS

LOOK ABROAD THROUGH NATURE’S RANGE NATURE’S MIGHTY LAW IS CHANGE.” Robbie Burns
We are in search of examples of nature’s supreme intelligence at work, is their perhaps a greater power pulling the strings of what we humans generalise in the word “evolution”. Yet within that generalisation there are distinct types of evolution.
Here are a trio of our own citations, however your contributions are immensely valuable and we need to hear from you with those most remarkable examples that you find to be truly unaccountable to one overriding theory. Thank you in advance Redbeck

Some creatures seem to have perfectly adapted to their environment. Take the koala. Thanks to a specialised digestive system, it survives on those very fibrous, low on nutrients and, to most other animals, poisonous eucalypt leaves.
Animals with features most suited to their environment such as the koala, which can digest eucalyptus leaves, are more likely to survive, and pass their specialised genes onto their offspring.

Or the queen of camouflage: the leafy seadragon of southern Australia. It’s a kind of seahorse which, thanks to the development of a number of plant-like protuberances, looks exactly like a clump of floating seaweed. Not only does this render the seahorse invisible to potential predators but, when tiny shrimp take shelter encouraged by its leafy appendages - unwittingly embracing the seahorse as a safe haven of greenery – therefore becoming an easy meal for their flamboyantly disguised host.

Some plants, such as the Venus Fly Trap, are carnivorous. Usually plants obtain nitrogen, a chemical element vital to any plant’s survival, extracted from the soil through their roots. These plants, however, usually grow in areas where the soil lacks nitrogen. Therefore they are unable to obtain sufficient nitrogen from their environmental soil base. In order to thrive in such nitrogen-poor soil environment, these carnivorous plants supplement this deficiency by capturing insects in trap-like leaves. The insects thus become the alternative source of nitrogen for the plant allowing it to survive and flourish in a nitrogen-poor habitat.
