There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Evolution works from mutation. So, technically, the genetics that decrease/increase size mutations will occur, and the preferable sizes will pass those mutations on in their select environment by simply surviving. Remember, there is no direct response in terms of change of an individual to stress, you're born with what you have.
