This is because individuals with medium brown fur, which are less likely to be seen by predators, would have a higher chance of surviving and reproducing, leading to an increase in their population. As a result, the distribution curve would have two peaks at either end for light and dark brown mice, with a dip in the middle for medium brown mice.
