one characteristic that is shared by all is a soft body. many

of these invertebrate animals also have an outer shell to protect their

body. oysters, clams, snails, and mussels are all mollusks. so are octopuses, squids, and slugs. mollusks live on land and in freshwater.

i think i can answer even without the example. over time with environmental changes, sometimes a group of animals will adapt to better survive. take a moth for example. if the trees the moths use to camouflage themselves from predators, started to die or change colors themselves, the moths may, overtime of course, change color too. its just adapting to its surroundings. hope i was of any : )
