Smaller horses bred with larger horses, creating hybrids.
Smaller horses were infected by a fatal virus early in their history.
Larger horses consumed the food supply of the smaller horses.
Larger horses produced a slightly greater number of surviving offspring.

Change occurs in the genetic characteristics of individuals that live together in an environment from one generation to another
Organisms with traits well-suited to their environment reproduce at a greater rate than less well-adapted organisms in the same environment.
Use and disuse of a characteristic leads to evolutionary change.
