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 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?

Answer 1

The Toucan, as an animal, has to eat. So, the Toucan developed a more aggressive adaptation to get food. On the other hand, the Monstera Plant had to do something about the mold situation. So, it developed a less aggressive adaptation, more of a defensive one, to combat its issues.
