In the future, due to the long-term effects of climate change, imagine a vertebrate animal in the tropical rainforest adapting to its transformed habitat. The once lush inland rainforest has shifted to a mixed woodland with lower tree density. This creature has evolved a streamlined body for efficient movement through the new terrain, and its limbs have developed into versatile appendages, allowing it to navigate both the forest floor and occasional open spaces. . In this future scenario, the creature exhibits a combination of features – a mix of terrestrial and aquatic adaptations – showcasing the resilience and adaptability necessary for survival in a dynamically changing world shaped by climate change.
