Some species adapt better to their environment than others.
Explanation:
Let's say there are ten green grasshoppers and ten yellow grasshoppers. When a bird comes and looks for grasshoppers, the yellow ones stick out more than others. When this happens, the green grasshoppers become more common than the yellow ones. In a similar way, if some organism has mutated or gained a better advantage, then it will continue on. The same organism with the bad mutations will become extinct.
