Hard to say whether evolution is true or not. It makes sense that animals like Giraffe's that have short necks ended up dieing out since their long necks would help them reach food on trees. In this respect, it makes sense that some type of "evolution" would allow the giraffes with the long necks to genetically prosper.

However, to say that the giraffe changed due to the fact they needed to survive. I would not agree with that. I do agree that the genetic aspects of certain species.... More

Ancient Fossils That Evolutionists Don't Want You To See
Why, if species have descended from other species by fine gradations, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms? Why is not all nature in confusion,.... More

They say it can't be domesticated. I'm curious; how many people have actually tried?

The THEORY of Evolution (simplified as the process during which prehistoric apes eventually became early man) hasn't been proved. Evolution (defined as the gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form) is a reality and a universal truth, everything evolves. "The only thing constant, is change."

people try and try again to bring down evolution by saying oh its only a theory
First of all theories are backed by science as accepted to be true so saying something is only a theory just means that is it accepted to be true
second of all the Undeniable evidence for eveolution is more than theoretical. it is scientific fact and anyone who denies this is pretty much unfit to have any opinion in modern society since they are outdated to the dark ages. You cannot deny the evidence.... More

Evolution is not a proven fact, scientist are still battling over it. They have not proven it true. But it is great that these little guys are found and being protected.

I doubt you could run into a legitimately respected scientist today who would agree with you. There honestly is a universal agreement amongst practically all scientists that evolution is real. Do not dirty the name of scientist by using that blatantly false fact about evolution, please. It's just not true that scientists argue about evolution- they may debate about specific facts about the paths evolution took or about the genus of certain species, but no person who knows what they're saying....

Chacoan peccary

The Chacoan is the largest (by size) species of peccary, a beast that resembles a pig but hails from a different continent and cannot be domesticated. The Chacoan peccary was first described in 1930 based only on fossil records, and was believed to be extinct. Then in 1975, surprised researchers discovered one alive in the Chaco region of Paraguay. Today there are around 3,000 known individuals.
