Here are some examples of observed evolution. The changes are generally not major because we have not had very long to observe these animals.
Single-celled organisms evolving to multi-celled ones. This was under artificial selection pressure, but was a simple process that could easily happen outside the lab.
Bird wings shortening to avoid cars.
Allele frequency changing in moths for better camouflage on trees. Please note that this particular case did not involve genetic mutations.
Bacteria evolving many different features. The results are described on Wikipedia.
Elephants losing tusks to avoid poachers.
Fish developing a gene allowing them to survive a toxic river.
Lizards losing limbs in order to travel better on sand.
Other lizards evolving to give birth to live young, the better to incubate eggs (since they're kept warm in the body).
More lizards still rewiring their guts when placed in a new ecosystem.
Obviously is is teh lawd giving them these abilities because he is omnibenevolent
of course i am joking, i know what i'll be reading for the next half hour Science ftw
