how about the thompsons gazelle and the cheetah. both have developed longer limbs to run faster, one to get away, one to keep up. the cheetah also developed a longer tail to use for balance as it does tight turns to try to catch the gazelle. falcons eat pigeons, which by large majority have white spots on their back which supposedly confuses the falcon during the chase. The falcon has developed very keen eye sight and short wings to fly fast, dive fast, and catch birds before they know what hit them.

Good one. Trilobites in the Cambrian Period were the only creatures to have hard exoskeletons, so they were the ultimate predator at the time. Everything was lunch. Other organisms realized this and soon enough (geologically speaking) many creatures had hard exoskeletons. Despite this, trilobites manages to exist till the Permian extinction, over 300 million years.

Well, now days we have these little girls and little boys getting on the INTERNET talking to all kinds of people in a light hearted and suggestive way. When the people follow up on an invitation to visit their chat buddies, a bunch of television cameras and cops come out of the woodwork like unseen termites. The resulting fiasco makes bunches of sensationalism money for the networks, lots of bucks for the lawyers, and a few weird folks get pulled off the streets. That is one example of your evolution that I have seen.
