Summary by Ground News

Animals across the world are changing the shapes of their bodies, developing bigger beaks, legs and ears. This shape-shifting has seen an increase in the size of appendages that play an important role in regulating body heat for animals. Australia's red-rumped parrot and the gang-gang cockatoo are two bird species that have increased their beak size by up to 10 per cent.
