    Natural selection is the process by which organisms with traits better suited to their environment survive and reproduce at higher rates than those with less suited traits. This is demonstrated through the example of black rabbits blending into the night better than white rabbits, avoiding predators. Environmental changes like volcanic eruptions can also drive natural selection, as seen when ash turned rats a darker gray, passing this color onto offspring. Even non-living things like a fruit punch stained t-shirt changing from white to red show an example of natural selection due to environmental changes.
