EXHIBIT 09
Oftentimes, organisms that are not closely related but which live in similar environments or which have similar diets end up looking a lot alike. The process that produces unrelated organisms with similar body structures, shapes, or behaviors is called convergent evolution. There are a lot of great examples of convergent evolution in nature, but flight is one of the most impressive.
Here you can take a closer look at the convergent evolution and flight posters, as well as watch a video that illustrates bird flight here on campus and elsewhere in Citrus County.
