An Animal Will Eat What It Can Eat (say that 10 times fast): A Scientific Consideration

Sometimes one will find an oceanic whitetip shark devouring some fish and squid in the ocean, or a whale shark scooping up krill. You may say that these are selective choices.
How, then, did these animals make those choices?
That can be hard to piece together. For sure! (those of you who have an answer, I want to hear it)
It may have to do with preferences, or something similar.
But why isn't the anteater going after flies and the whale shark after fish?
Because, the anteater can't catch the flies. It sees the flies, sure, and would like to catch them, but settles on what it CAN catch. Over time, the species may stop looking at them and evolve to GET THE MOST out of the ants and termites.
What, then, is evolution?
Evolution may be a concept (for me) hard to grasp, but it is little by little. I'm still having trouble understanding brain movements (as I heard in a recent live call-in show about evolving bird brains), but I can understand and help you understand it as I think about it philosophically and scientifically every day.
Mutations in the below-understanding level atoms lead to new species, and our bodies begin to shift with our daily activity. We develop shortcuts and so much more. After running in the long term, you become used to it and develop better muscles. Think about that yourself.
