The canopy glider

The Future: The forest floor has flooded permanently. To travel between distant hunting pools, the otters have had to move into the trees. Adaptations: The Webbed Wing: The skin between their front and back legs becomes stretchy, allowing them to leap from high branches and glide down to the water like a flying squirrel. Prehensile Tail: Their powerful tail becomes "prehensile" (meaning it can grip), acting like a fifth limb to hold onto slippery jungle branches. Golden Camouflage: Their fur changes from dark brown to a dappled green and gold to blend in with the sunlight hitting the leaves.
