The Future of the Kinkajou

Roaming the forest in Central and South America the kinkajou is nocturnal and feeds mainly on fruit. It has a long prehensile tail that it uses as a fifth leg that allows it to move through the trees flexibly. The global warming is a growing problem to the Earth. Floods may take places, forest turn into deserts, and the iceberg is melting. The rainforest will die down and may become flooded. I imagine the future kinkajou become an amphibian that eats grass instead of berries, having flat teeth to chew grass, and even grow scales and flippers to help it swim in the flooding season. If the global warming caused by human deforestation happen too fast, the kinkajou’s population may reduce greatly and even become extinct before all these adaptive features develop. We should do our best to protect the rainforest starting from now.
