Developing a fur coat that stands out to predators.
A conspicuous coat would increase predation risk and lower survival/reproductive success, whereas the other traits (tolerance of a toxic food source, stronger beaks for food access, sharp teeth for eating flesh) would improve access to resources or survival and thus increase fitness.
