Are you a fan of the transformers 3 ？Are you excited about lots of scenes that the cars' shape shift into different forms in the film？When you hear the word "shapeshifting"（變身），you may think（1）thethescience fiction movies，and not the climate .But that's what animals are doing to deal with climate change.
A new study shows that some animals are increasingly growing larger mouths，legs and（2）earsears（ear）.In this way they can lose heat more easily to cool themselves down as Earth gets warmer.
"A lot of the time when we talk about climate change，we ask 'Can（3）humanshumans['hju?m?nz] overcome this？' or 'What technology can solve this？' But we should know that animals （4）alsoalso[??：ls??] have to adapt to these changes."said the study's author，Sara Ryding，from Deakin University，Australia.If animals fail to control（5）theirtheir（they）body temperature，they can overheat and die.
In one example，the mouths of some Australian parrot species（物種）have（6）growngrown（grow）4 to 10 percent larger than before since 1871.The study says it's closely related to rising summer temperatures over the years.Similar examples include wood mice.They have（7）longerlonger（long）tails and bats in warm climates have bigger wings.
Although animals are changing their body shapes，scientists warn that it doesn't mean everything is fine.It just means they are trying hard to live.Not all animals will（8）succeedsucceed[s?k?si?d]."The climate change that we have created is giving a whole lot of pressure on them，and some animals will adapt （9）butbutothers will not.As to the animals that can't adapt the changes，it will be（10）aadisaster for them.I think something need to be done to change this situation，and it has to start today." said Ryding.
