because they couldnt adapt to(适应)where they lived.To survive,living things must change over time.This is called evolution(进化).When reading this article,please remember that every one of us is a lucky dog.Weevolve,and we survive!After years of evolution,now we have the abilities to live in the worldand enjoy it.Just like humans,other animals on Earth also evolve great abilities.For example,giraffes live on the grassland of Africa.To adapt to life there,they have evolved longer necks toreach the high trees,as well as longer legs to run away from lions and cheetahs(猎豹).However,evolution also gives
