Answer:

Not necessarily

Explanation:

Conversely, in the European mole (<em>Talpa europaea</em>), which is a mammal that lives mostly underground, the vision is seriously short-sighted. These are clear examples that "the function makes the organ", ie., phenotypic features such as vision and audition are selected in the course of evolution depending on the fitness that they confer to the species in particular environmental conditions.
