The difference between their beaks
Answer
All known species of Darwin's Finches are found on the Galápagos islands. With the exception of one, the Cocos Finch, which is found on the Cocos Island. Darwin's finches are not actually true finches. Darwin knew they weren't finches, but an ornithologist called Percy Lowe, later in 1936 incorrectly called them "Darwin's Finches" in a book, a term which unfortunately stuck.
Their beaks were adapted to match the foods they ate.
It is thought that the finches have a common ancestor. Separated on different islands, each island eventually produced different finches.
The Galapagos Islands
The embryos help Darwin find that finches came from the same ancestor which they go through phases of evolutions, this depends on the island the finches are located. Darwin discover that in different islands the beak from the finches were bigger hence stronger to crack difficult shells from plans, but in a different island finches have smaller beaks to get nectar from that plants. Darwin came to the conclusion that finches adapt from their environment.
