Kingfishers live in the Amazon Basin, where they enjoy calm waters full of fish. They have sharp beaks to catch fish, great vision to spot them from above, and strong wings to hover over the water. They usually live near rivers, lakes, or ponds, where they can find plenty of food and build nests in trees. In the future, climate change could make it harder for kingfishers. Rising temperatures, less rain, and deforestation could cause water levels to drop, making it difficult for them to catch fish. Cutting down trees could take away places for them to nest and raise their young. To survive, kingfishers might adapt by going deeper into the water to find fish or moving to other places with more stable water levels. These changes help them keep hunting and living, even as their environment changes. Their ability to adapt will help them face these new challenges.
