The Chilean Flamingo has a light pink plumage, and stands at an average three and half feet tall. Flamingos feed with their head upside down with their beaks tipped – they have an inherent comb-like filter system in their beak that allows them to catch the microorganisms that make up an important part of their diet.

 

The Welsh Mountain Zoo is a zoological garden located near the town of Colwyn Bay in Conwy County Borough, Wales. The zoo was opened on 18 May 1963 by the enthusiastic naturist Robert Jackson. The zoo covers an area of 37 acres (15 ha).

 

2006 - The arrival of a pair of endangered snow leopards and the breeding of the very first Bactrian camel in Wales followed. Caracaras have now been placed in the old condor aviary. Margay are another recent addition to the collection.

 

The zoo's next development project is the construction of a new tropical house for reptiles and new alligator facilities. Work began in 2007 with the demolition of the old tortoise and cactus house. Money has been raised through charitable donations yet the plan to build the new tropical were scrapped officially in 2021.
