Climate change is causing significant changes in the rainforest ecosystem, including temperature and rainfall patterns. As a result, many rainforest animals are facing challenges in adapting to these changes. This image depicts a possible adaptation of a rainforest animal to climate change. The animal has developed a longer and more flexible tongue to reach water sources that are now further away due to droughts. Its fur has become lighter in color to reflect more sunlight and keep it cool in the hotter climate. The animal’s feet have also adapted to become wider and more webbed, allowing it to swim more efficiently in the flooded areas caused by heavy rainfall. These adaptations help the animal survive in the changing rainforest environment
