An adaptation that helps animals run fast would be an example of natural selection if it helps them:
**Reproduce and increase the frequency of the genes in the population.**
Natural selection occurs when individuals with advantageous traits (like speed in this case) are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those beneficial traits on to the next generation. This leads to an increase in the frequency of those advantageous genes within the population over time.
