The Mexican long-nosed bat roosts in Big Bend National Park in West Texas. The bat feeds on
nectar and pollen and hovers while it feeds. Additionally, its tongue can extend up to eight
centimeters.
The features of Mexican long-nosed bats are evidence of natural selection because the
features are adaptations that
A lead to an increase in predation by other species of animals
B show that most DNA mutations are necessary and advantageous but do not increase
survival or reproductive success
C help individuals outcompete other individuals for food resources to increase survival and
reproductive success
D are the result of intentional breeding
