Flamingos

Flamingos are a type of bird. They live in the Eastern and Western hemisphere.
They eat Brine shrimp and can be as tall as an adult or as small as a five-six year
old. When first born flamingos are gray. They get pinker as they grow older.
Light colored flamingos are unhealthy while more colorful flamingos are healthy.
Flamingos stand on one leg. People have not yet discovered why. One suggestion is
that by tucking a leg under the body saves body heat. Another suggestion is that
when they do this it keeps both legs from being in the water, which is thought to
save energy.
