Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Animals ‘shapeshifting’ in response to climate crisis, research finds | Animals | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Warm-blooded animals are changing beaks, legs and ears to adapt to hotter climate and better regulate temperature Quote Animals are increasingly “shapeshifting” because of the climate crisis, researchers have said. Warm-blooded animals are changing their physiology to adapt to a hotter climate, the scientists found. This includes getting larger beaks, legs and ears to better regulate their body temperature. When animals overheat, birds use their beaks and mammals use their ears to disperse the warmth. Some creatures in warmer climates have historically evolved to have larger beaks or ears to get rid of heat more easily. These differences are becoming more pronounced as the climate warms.

TheLeon Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 It’s like Pokémon. Blastoise developed those water cannons to fight the constantly raging wildfires in the Western Johto region. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 The real headline should be "Animals that can't cope are dying, and slightly different versions of those animals are surviving." There are no individual animals that are "shapeshifting," it's natural selection happening before our eyes. Like, if a plague swept the world and killed everyone except people with red hair, we wouldn't say "Humans around the plague-ridden world are shapeshifting before our eyes!"
