Mammal Climate Change Adaptation
Mammals are among the species most affected by a changing climate and are undergoing a rapid adaptation to the climate change. Over the recent centuries, evolutionary changes have allowed mammals to become more resilient to increasingly extreme temperatures, rising sea levels, and other climate-related issues. Some examples of mammal adaptations to climate change include changes in hibernation patterns and changes in body size, coat colour, and migration routes. These adaptations are important for mammals to survive in a changing environment and can help maintain biodiversity on the planet. In addition, understanding and documenting these types of adaptations can provide valuable insight into the long-term consequences of climate change and how species may be able to adapt in the future.
