First of all, the purpose of natural selection is to "weed out" the organisms in a species with imperfect qualities. Basically, it's evolution's way of making the species that best it can be.
An anteater eats insects (namely, ants) by sticking its snout and tongue through anthills and the ground. Obviously, the longer the snout of the anteater, the more possible bugs it can reach and, therefore, eat. So, over millions of years, anteaters with shorter snouts were not able to reach enough bugs and ended up dying. The anteaters with longer snouts had more food available because they could reach more bugs, so they were able to live long enough to reproduce and produce offspring with the preferred trait: having a longer snout.

What did Darwin notice about the animals on the Galapagos island?
Darwin knew that the birds are the same. since they lived in separate islands, the finches adapted to their environment and had a mutation. all of the birds have a common ancestry. each finch has a separate beak because they needed to get food in a way. if the beak is thin and small, they can take their food from cracks or small areas. each bird had adapted to their environment with their beaks. that's what Darwin noticed. each animal adapts or adjust to their environment around them. see it, remember it, and know it. important concept of evolution
