“Flamingo in Tropical Paradise”
Fun fact about flamingos. Do you know that Flamingos get their pink color from their food?
Flamingos really are what they eat (isn’t this same think like human too? 🤪).
Many plants produce natural red, yellow or orange pigments, called carotenoids. Carotenoids give carrots their orange color or turn ripe tomatoes red. They are also found in the microscopic algae that brine shrimp eat. As a flamingo dines on algae and brine shrimp, its body metabolizes the pigments — turning its feathers pink.
