The astonishing biodiversity of our planet is the result of a perpetual and never-ended evolution where the biological species had to adapt to an often hostile environment. The complex relationship between them and their habitat, the pressure of the natural selection and the spontaneous mutations, between chance and necessity, shaped living it in a multitude of forms, which exceed our imaginary. If all the mechanisms of this evolutionary process are not completely elucidated, it will be sure that the dynamics of the life has transformed, eliminated and modified the species since the beginning of time.
