...ends with 'future'.? (5) The survivors often survive, not always by chance but because they are slightly different from the general population in some way. Perhaps they can run faster or further and so get to food before the other; or they have a better sense of smell and find food that others cannot; or they have stronger jaws and sharper teeth and can open nuts that others cannot open. Which of these slight advantages they have over those that die is not clearly understood; however, those that do survive have the opportunity to reproduce and pass on their advantageous traits to a new generation.
(6) **So together with their high rates of reproduction and the survival of those that have adapted in some beneficial way, mouse-like rodents are in a strong position to survive well into the future.**Ultimately, however, what probably enables these mouse-like rodents to reproduce so successfully is the fact that their teeth allow them to eat highly nutritious nuts and seeds so they do not have to spend most of their time engaged in the dangerous activity of gathering food.
