Answer:

Explanation:

Zebra mussels can be a nuisance in novel ecosystems. When introduced in a non-native ecosystem with no natural predators, they reproduce rapidly displacing native mussels. Zebra mussels take up much of the algar that feeds the other native species hence starving them to death and causing their numbers to plummet. In addition, they attach to the other mussels and clog up power plants, that use the local water, water intakes.

Whales are thought to have evolved from land animals similar to large otters. As evidence of this, whales have useless leg bones

Marina CMI [18]

These useless leg bones are vestigial structures. It was believed that the only vertebrates existing were water creatures. Over time, they developed hips and legs as they eventually walked out of the water which later evolved to land creatures. Some of these are mammals, and they later moved back to the water. Biologists believe this to have occurred 50 million years ago.
