Fire ants in the southeastern United States were accidentally introduced over

seventy years ago. Stings from fire ants can be deadly to the native fence lizard.
Fence lizards that have lived in areas with fire ants for many generations have longer
legs than fence lizards that have not lived in areas with fire ants until more recently.
Which statement BEST describes how the legs of the fence lizard changed over
time? Please answer

There legs had to adapt to their new surroundings in order to survive so as time passed they evolved. I think it’s called natural selection.
