Look at the Galapagos Islands or Madagascar (excuse the spelling), where we have species of animals that have evolved into new animals to cope with the living enviroments.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>While I agree with the basic message of your post, I would be careful about the language used to describe evolution. Animals evolving into "new" animals plays on the Creationist misconception that evolution describes rapid change from one species to another, such as a frog sprouting wings and becoming a bird, or a human undergoing metamorphosis into a chicken.
