A example of natural selection occurring in nature today?
One example of natural selection occurring today is the peppered moth in industrial England. Initially, light-colored moths were more prevalent, but as pollution darkened the environment, darker moths had better camouflage and survived to reproduce, leading to an increase in their population over time.
Why happened in England that changed the bark on the trees light to dark?
The industrial revolution in England (the black smoke form all the factory chimneys) produced allot of environmental pollution and the trees in the worst affected areas were covered in soot. Now thankfully this pollution has ceased and the tree trunks are no longer black...I understand that the areas of black peppered moth variants are now reverting to the light colored variety.

Raccoons are not *native* to England, but they definitely *do* live in the wild there! Brits have been importing them from North America for pets, especially since the 2007 change to the law, which says that that licenses are no longer required. Escaped and abandoned raccoons are now showing up and raiding trash cans, bird nests, and gardens. England is quickly heading the way of Germany - where two raccoons imported in the 1930s have now swelled to close to a million (and the songbird population is suffering. Raccoons do love eggs!)
