Galapagos finches, also known as Darwin's finches, exhibit a variety of physical characteristics that are closely linked to their feeding habits. They have diverse beak shapes and sizes, ranging from large, strong beaks for cracking seeds to slender beaks for probing flowers. Their plumage typically varies in color, with shades of brown, black, and white, which can help them camouflage in their environments. Additionally, their body sizes can differ among species, adapting to their specific ecological niches.
