Can a species stop evolving?

What happens when a species stops evolving because there is nothing to make it
evolve further?

Evolution never stops. At most, it stagnates until the need to change a characteristic
emerges.
When an inherited characteristic is no longer needed for suvival of the species, that
trait is still there, but dormant.
No species evolves alone. Evolution depends on enviroment and mutation of genes so a
species can NEVER stop evolving.
