The concept of "survival of the fittest" refers to the idea that individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce in their environment. In the image, the adult giraffe possesses the advantageous trait of longer necks, allowing it to reach the leaves high in the tree, while the smaller giraffe struggles to access food. As a result, the adult giraffe can consume more resources, improving its chances of survival and reproduction, which exemplifies how natural selection favors traits that enhance fitness.
