Suppose a species of snake is living in a certain area. Some of the snakes in the population are black and some are orange. Over time, the area changes and the orange snakes have a harder time blending into the environment. This makes it difficult for the orange snakes to catch food.

According to Darwin’s theory of evolution, what will most likely happen to this snake population over time?
