Title: Appendage Evolution
Post by: Ecurb Noselrub on September 08, 2021, 04:18:38 PM
Some parrots are getting bigger appendages, such as beaks, so help them regulate body temps during global warming.

There may be hope for me, yet.

How interesting. Every global catastrophe has a silver lining. I do recall an experiment where different types of corals were subjected to heat and acidity tests to find those which would survive the new normal. The ones that survived have been used to re-start dead reefs. It is working AFAIK.

:mustache: :lol:

Speaking of hope, here's hoping these animals manage to hang on. Seems like it might be a skin of their teeth sort of deal.
