Toucania

Deforestation has caused many animals to lose their homes because of the loss of trees. The Toucan population was a victim of deforestation, along with many other species, resulting in a food shortage. Toucans have many predators and when there is a food decrease the toucan population might dwindle because of their highly visible bright colors. With natural selection the toucan will change habitats and move to marsh and grasslands. Over two thousand years, toucans grew webbed feet to swim faster and escape from predators and their bodies shrank. The smaller bodies help them camouflage underwater and their colors grew duller overtime. The toucan can not eat fruits or vegetables so their long beak helps with catching animals such as fish underwater. Over time the species’ name was changed to Toucanias.
