Climate change: Animals shapeshifting to stay cool, study says

[AZProgressive]

When you hear the word "shapeshifting" you probably think of a sci-fi or horror film, and not the climate.

But that's what scientists say is happening to some animals in response to climate change.

Warm-blooded species are evolving to have larger beaks, legs and ears to regulate body temperature as the planet warms up, a new study suggests.

The scientists behind the study warn the physiological changes do not mean animals are coping with climate change.

1. Why are they not calling it "evolution"?

They aren't shapeshifting, it's evolution in action.
