∙ 13y agowhen the environment changes the animal/plant must adapt to re-suit its environment. unfortunately, evolution can not occur with out a mutation but when one does occur and it is effective, more-so that the 'original' animal then the future offspring will have the same mutation. This is how and animal evolves to suit it's changing environment. When, for example, it gets colder and colder, animals become more and more furry to adapt to their environment :)

Both involve at least a few species dying out because of failure to adapt to the changing environment.
How is extinction of a species related to its inability to adapt to its environment?
A species who cannot adapt to its environment, cannot survive. Adaptations have kept species from being extinct. Adaptations can include, changes in diet, development of protection such as fur coats against temperature, and even skin color changes to act as camouflage from predators.
