spending five years just in the sea he decided he wanted to explore the lands. One specific animal that grabbed Darwin’s attention was the finch bird. He noticed that on every island he would go each species of finches were different especially their` beaks. He then took examples of the different bird species and took them back with him to the museum of London. Darwin never valued the little differences between the finches until John Gould did and that’s when Darwin realized the importance on the little

and are surprised that instead it is ‘on its back‚ wings outstretched’ and now the embodiment of defeat. The predatory nature of the bird is conveyed by the metaphor that describes the bird as having ‘target eyes rimmed in blood’ and the simile ‘beak like open secateurs’.

At this point the responder does

birds emerged within the theropod dinosaurs during the Jurassic period‚ around 150 million years ago. Most researchers agree that modern-day birds are the only living members of the Dinosauria clade. Modern birds are characterised by feathers‚ a beak with no teeth‚ the laying of hard-shelled eggs‚ a high metabolic rate‚ a four-chambered heart‚ and a lightweight but strong skeleton. Extant birds have wings; the most recent species without wings was the moa‚ which is generally considered to have

I sat down on the park bench by the Mirror Lake that was closest to the fountain. Even though nobody was sitting on the seven foot long bench‚ I sat on one corner occupying the minimum amount of space possible. Only after sitting on the wooden bench I realize that the bench was still slightly wet from previous night’s heavy rain.
