The White-Throated Toucan has several adaptations that allow it to live an easier life in the Amazon Rainforest. They have long beaks to reach out and grab food and have sharp claws on either side of their feet to supply a better grip on branches. They defend each other in small flocks and their beak matches their bright environment of colorful flowers and trees. They adjusted to eating fruit because it's easier to pick up lighter items with their beaks. Climate change could cause the rainforest to be even more wet and possibly flood. Due to flooding, they might develop webbed feet and start eating animals such as insects and fish instead of berries and plants that could soon disappear. The toucan would have to lay more eggs due to predators eating them for food. Resulting in the vanishing trees, they could adapt by growing bigger wings for better flying.
