CONCLUSION: A Struggle for Survival, most of this offspring fight for food and water.

2. Observation: variation in species: member of the same species have different ways of identification, which are color, sex, e.t.c

CONCLUSION: Those individuals that survive and reproduce do so in consequence  of "superior adaptive variation" (they are "more fit")
