According to Lamarck's theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics, a water bird could acquire long legs through its efforts to adapt to its environment. For instance, if the bird frequently waded through deeper waters, it might stretch its legs over generations to reach the bottom for food, leading to longer legs. These acquired traits would then be passed on to its offspring, resulting in a population of water birds with longer legs over time. However, it's important to note that Lamarck's ideas have largely been replaced by Darwinian evolution and genetics.

Why do sharks swim with their fins out of the water?
It is mostly just a scare-tactic used in the media to symbolize a shark. In the wild, animals typically adapt to the hunting method that is most likely to succeed. For example, if a shark were to hunt a bird sitting on the water, if it's fin was up above the water, the bird would see it and most likely fly away before the shark could get near it. If the shark were to come from underneath, the bird most likely would not be aware of the shark until it was too late.
