Toucans Evolution

Toucans currently spend their lives high in the rainforest canopies of Central and South America, and they rarely make trips to the forest floor. Toucans have large bills, which they use to eat fruits, and are also known to eat insects, reptiles, and other bird eggs, and have colorful feathers to camouflage themselves with the colorful vegetation of the rainforest. Due to climate change and deforestation, Rainforests may decrease significantly in size in the next 10,000 years, leaving toucans to adapt to the new environment, which may become savannas or grasslands due to the increased severity of soil erosion because of the absence of trees, and adapt to have less colorful feathers to help camouflage in the new environment, have smaller beaks specialized to catch insects, small reptiles, and eggs, and have legs specialized for walking rather than climbing due to the absence of trees in the area.
