Flamingo - Phoenicopterus ruber

*Captive animal at The Bronx Zoo

When my older son was little, he called these 'flaming mingos', which is very fitting.

      Did you know that flamingos produce milk to feed their young? Both males and females have special glands in their digestive tract that makes milk. And, it's blood red. Posted 5 months ago

The American Flamingo

The American Flamingo is a large species of flamingo closely related to the Greater Flamingo and Chilean Flamingo. It was formerly considered conspecific with the Greater Flamingo, but that treatment is now widely viewed as incorrect due to a lack of evidence. It is the only flamingo which naturally inhabits North America.
