Question

The Toucan has a long, narrow beak that allows it to reach fruit that is hard to reach for other birds.

Plants, like the Monstera Plant, in HELP IM ON A TIME LIMIT!!!!











































































































the rainforest have long, grooved leaves to drop water to the forest
floor. The excessive water that falls in the rainforest could lead to mold, so the leaves adapted to
have “drip tips” that allow the water to run off of the leaves.
What type of adaptations are these? Compare and contrast the adaptations of the Toucan and
Monstera Plants of the rainforest. Your answer should be 3–4 sentences long.

Answer 1

They have large leaves with holes in them that the Toucan can use to reach the fruit inside. The Toucan's beak is also used to break open hard-shelled fruits, such as coconuts. The Toucan's beak is also used for defence against predators, as it can be used to peck and jab at them. The adaptations of the rainforest plants are examples of convergent evolution. Both the Toucan and Monstera Plants have adapted to their environment in order to survive. The Toucan has a large beak that helps it to reach fruit in the canopy, while the Monstera Plant has long, grooved leaves with drip tips that allow water to run off and prevent mould. Both adaptations are beneficial for the survival of the species in the rainforest.
