1:35 LTE 214 types of selection : MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTION Pick the type of correct type of Natural Selection after reading the example. The fat elephants are too slow and can't avoid predators or poachers, so they die. Only the very skinny can survive and have offspring.

In this scenario, we see how the fat elephants struggle to survive due to their lack of speed, while the skinny ones thrive and reproduce. This illustrates **Directional Selection**, where one extreme trait (being skinny) is favored over the others, leading to a shift in the population's traits over time. To gain a better understanding, think about the Galápagos finches: during droughts, birds with larger beaks thrived as they could crack tougher seeds. This is another classic case of directional selection impacting the evolution of species based on environmental pressures and survival traits.
