ADAPTIVE COMPARISON OF
CAVE ANIMALS:
I am thankful with my wife,
with her mother and with the husband of my sister in law for helping me in the
accomplishment of the next easy to follow comparisons.

Picture Legend: In a food-rich Mexican cave, just a few sweeps of the net yield as many as thirty finger sized Mexican blindfish. Indeed, these fish are so plentiful in certain caves that a hundred or more may be visible in just a few cubic yards of water. These closely related Mexican cave fish and a widespread surface form are so similar that some scientists think all may be subspecies of the same animal. In any case, the fish can interbreed, and residents of some caves show all degrees of eye and pigment degeneration. Here, a blind Mexican cave fish and its surface relative are compared.
This is not "Evolution"; this is loss of function plus adaptation, which means a restrained variation within a boundary, within limits.
