I'm no expert in evolution but from reading your examples they seem to all be examples of ADAPTATION. I dont think that adaptation is evolving. if you put all these animals back to the conditions without drought, without displacing them from one continent to the other they would probably adapt to their old environment. Meaning the birds would grow longer beaks, the other example would have shorter hind legs as before, etc...

sooo my question, is adaptation same as evolution?

Well evolution is something that happens over a long period of time. (hundreds and thousands of years) Structural adaption can happen after a couple of days. Here's something I just read about adaptation, in hypoxia when there is a low amount of oxygen, your body can structurally adapt by producing new blood vessel in order to carry blood more efficiently.

Good question though, should look more into that.

yes by adapting to the enviroment they evolve as a species ... the older species dies off and the one that "adapted" survives to further the species
but it doesnt make sense to me because they didnt evolve brain wise, they just adapted physically, naturally. if they climate/geography would go back as it was previous they would probably go back to their previous physical characteristics, ya see what i'm saying?:hmmm

between you being a met fan and comments like this ... the more you talk the less i want to listen :chuckle where do you get the rationale to make such statements?

It's alright, I've never taken your comments as anything more than the rambling- regurgitation, might be more appropriate- of a mind that's been brainwashed by public school textbooks.
