Animal Photography Challenge - Flamingos at the Zoo
Hi steemit friends,
For today's entry into the animalphotography challenge, I am sharing a photo that I took a number of years ago while visiting the Toronto Zoo in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Pictured here are some vibrant pink flamingos! I've always found these birds quite funny looking - the way that they are able to contort and bend their necks makes them look very weird at times! Add to that their very thin, brittle looking legs, and their hot pink feathers, and you've got some very unique looking animals to say the least! I wonder if flamingos usually sleep standing up - does anyone know?

Flamingos DO sleep standing up, but not all the time. Another fun flamingo fact- their legs don't 'bend backward', what seems like their knee is actually their ankle, and it bends the same way yours and mine does. They have an actual knee hidden under those pretty pink feathers.
Oh neat! I never would have guessed that was the case about their legs! So weird to think that their "knees" are ankles!

Great capture. I was told that flamingos take the colour of food they eat,that just makes them more amazing.
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing that information!
NICE! and thanks for your support..You might like my latest!
