Flamingo at The Welsh Mountain Zoo, Colwyn Bay, North Wales.
Flamingo's are a type of wading bird in the family Phoenicopteridae.
A group of flamingo's is called a
" Flamboyance "
Flamingo's are omnivores and filter-feed on brine shrimp, and blue-green algae, as well as insect larvae small insects and mollusks and crustaceans.
The pink or reddish colour of flamingo's comes from carotenoid in their diet, of animal and plant plankton.
Flamingo's prefer to drink freshwater, but they are equipped with glands under their eyes
that remove extra salt from their bodies,so this organ allows them to also drink saltwater.
Meerkats work together in numbers. A few will typically serve as lookouts, like this lonely fellow, watching the skies for birds of prey, such as hawks and eagles, that can snatch them from the ground.
A sharp, shrill call is the signal for all to take cover. While a few individuals guard the group, the rest busy themselves foraging for the foods that make up their varied diet.
Meerkats will eat insects, lizards, birds, and fruit. When hunting small game, they work together and communicate with purring sounds. Meerkats are good hunters and are sometimes tamed for use as rodent-catchers.
