Sunfish

Sunfish

I believe that the sunfish looks that way it does because their features may help them survive. For example, in the article mentioned that their fins look like shark fins which might make people back off instead of going after it and killing it. In the article it also says that they have “ridiculously oversized fins” and this obviously helps swim better as if they had small ones with la large body weighing over 5,000 pounds. I think without these characteristics they would not survive. However, we see how they are still getting killed and their fins are getting ripped off, left to die showing that evolution needs to keep doing its job in order to protects itself.

I think the reason new species appear is because there can be possibilities of one type of species that is separated from all the others. Then that one species  might end up up mating with a different one making a new species appear with characteristics of 2 different species into one. Another reason may be because they have to adapt to their environment causing them have different features to survive.
