Peppered Moths

    How does pollution and other things help to make a species go extinct. Species that go through a sudden climate, new predator pollution stage can become extinct. Others adapt the climates. For example in England there were some peppered moths. During the same, time they were going through the Industrial Revolution. This led to many things causing pollution in the air. The trees that normal white peppered moths were used to were white with many lichens on them. The moths had black spots on their wings and disguised themselves as lichen to protect themselves from predators. Now the pollution takes its toll on the moths by turning most white trees in the asre to black trees. This made it hard not to get eaten by predators. The moths were able by a genetic mutation get new traits. These traits were that the wings of the moths were turned black. The moths had a better chance of surviving after that.
