This is ture because the mutation kinda comes from no where and it can be the most random things. But the natural selection is one that is not as random because the nature isnt very random and the nature has a lot to do with what goes on and what is happing in the woods and just outside.

a mutation is very random, the reason for this is if an animal in surviving in its surrounding environment. If the animals that are not suited to live in that environment they will most likely die for multiple reasons. then the ones that survive will reproduce and create more of the better suited for there environment. and natural selection will effect if there needs to be a change in the animal species.
