There's a going theory that since they will often appear dead (when they've just slowed breathing/heartrate) they're still alive when swallowed sometimes. So they thrash around, and pop the python like the world's worst piñata. Several pythons were found "popped" from alligators so that's why I say theory.

I never said that so don't try and put words in my mouth to win an argument. ) She also doesn't care about which variant of a particular animal survives and which don't.

Nothing new has been grown, all species have natural variations. Humans, for example, come in various morphologies, making some better at sports and others at cerebral tasks, but no new limbs, nor massive brains are "evolving."

Some animals' sizes increase over time if there's an abundance of food sources and they have time to grow older and get bigger. The sizes decrease when there are less and less food sources. That's why there are currently no megasize land animals after the extinct ones died/killed off.

I'm betting they would like to evolve some garlic and butter.

Usually changes for evolution in the wild (at least for animals like birds) take much longer than 2 generations to create lasting changes in a species. This is honestly amazing that it happened so quickly. I'm interested to see what happens in the future with these birds and their habitat. Will the beaks get even bigger? Will the birds continue to get bigger or is this their optimum size? Will species that were chased out by the snails start to return? So many questions I'm excited to have answered in a couple of years!

The reason this form of evolution occurred so quickly is simple - the biggest of the snail kites were succeeding in handling the larger snails and these larger kites were selected for their ability to handle the new reality they found themselves living in. Thw larger kites solely had to pass thwir genes for one or two generations and now that the larger kites are the predominant birds in their species their problem has been solved. Darwinism 101, adapt or die.

Those are some really BIG snails! More to eat!

Is it evolution, or simply a result of getting more protein etc., from eating the bigger snails?

Look at Mitchell Hooper, World's strongest man. You wouldn't even think he was the same person, compared to just a few years ago. Is his life a product of evolution, or just diet and lifestyle change? Scientific method, or a narrative? I don't believe anything anybody says anymore.

I bet it might also eventually lead to bigger claws as gripping those big snail shells above water proves some what of a risky juggling act.

Pay attention.

As stupid as it sounds, I thought birds are evolving back into dinosaurs 💀

I live in Gainesville Florida and out in the prairie of Hawthorne Lachua trail you can watch these Birds eat snails all day long next to the gator. It’s the only state park in the world with free roaming bison horses and gators all in one place.

Such rapid adaptation implies a massive death rate. The dark side of Darwinian selection.

No, a single creature cannot adapt as in change their morphology (physical structure). A HERD of animals can. If an animal becomes physically different over time, that's evolution. It will breed and things change and change and now do that millions of times and see what happens. It'll be a HUGE change over HUGE amounts of time. Any fool would understand if you put a penny in a jar every day, after a month, you don't have much difference. After 50 years... quite a difference. After 100,000 years? you'd have over 3 million dollars.

You can attempt to argue that semantics are at play and that this conversation might not be productive which i can understand, agree to disagree, but under this thread we're specifically talking about using the more accurate word adaptation over evolution and that isn't an unreasonable request and i agree with OP.
