This flower, over many generations, has warped the poor buff-tail sicklebilled hummingbird’s beak into that bizarre curve.
Wait, are we sure the bird didn’t warp the flower? Do we know what drives this divergence? I guess there must be some advantage to the pollinator and pollinatee absconding from normalcy together?
Finally! Sweet revenge for all those ancestors who kept getting covered in bird poop.
What’s it do when those flowers aren’t in bloom?
Only god could have created them so perfectly matched!
But flowers don’t live for many generations! Check mate, atheist!
It looks angrier and angrier about that with each generation.
I assume this increases pollination rates by allowing only one pollinator to easily visit its flower, and making that pollinator preferentially visit this flower?
The bird clearly asked for it.
