Where Are The World’s Flamingos?

One of nature’s eye-catching creatures is the flamingo. While you could spend some credit card points for a ticket to see them at your nearest zoo, there’s no denying that witnessing them out and about in the wild is a whole different experience. If you want to go on a globe-trotting adventure to see as many flamingos as you can, they can be found around these areas.

More information about this creature aside from the fact that they are lovely is that there are only six known species on Earth. Their diet includes shrimp, algae, and crustaceans. The pink, red, or orange hue in their feathers is caused by the carotene in their diet. Yes, that is the same as the compound found in tomatoes and carrots. If a group of fish is called a school, for a flock of flamingos, that is called a flamboyance.
