There are more than a dozen species of finch that evolved on the Galapagos Islands,each identified by beak shape and size. Some absorb strong beaks to crack nuts while others absorb long, fine beaks to grasp larvae with surgical precision. All of the finches evolved from a common ancestor in a very short period of time, and an evolutionary process known as adaptive radiation.
