Peek-a-boo-on-a-stick-for-you!

The flamingo is famous for being able to stand and sleep on one leg. Even the whole flamboyance does it at once from time to time.

The reasons are a treat developed by evolution: they have a leg that locks and balance the bird, minimizing the energy and muscle movement while resting on one leg.

Some speculate it is temperature regulating, reducing bodypart exposure to low temperatures. Other thinks it is to reduce the exposure of leg and body to harsh living conditions, some flamingos live in high saline lake and marshes.

Keeping an eye

Anyway, they will have an eye for you, even when resting. Or, at least one eye. Flamingos usually sleep together in groups for safety reasons. Because of this, there is usually a sentry who stays awake to keep an eye out for predators. While the guard keeps watch, the other flamingos stand on one leg and rest their heads on their backs.

They can sleep like this on one leg for a long time.

Coy Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus ©Laura Quick Africa, Indian subcontinent, Middle East and southern Europe. Tropics as well. Also high elevation birds that seem all whimpy when you see them but which are seriously hardcore. A few adaptations: 1. Can drink near boiling water 2. Their feet freeze to the ground in cold weather and thaw when temps rise the following day 3. The alkaline lakes where they breed would peel your skin off, but thanks to keratin scales, it's not a problem for flamingos, also no predators. 4. They have glands in their beaks through which to excrete excessive salt and cynobacteria that would poison a human #coy #syperbendy #longneck #flamingo #neck #scurve #greaterflamingo #bird #phoenicopterus #roseus #lazoo #flamingomingle #preening #©lauraquick #bird #animal #photojourney #colorful #lankyashell #dietmakesthempink #lazoodocentclasses #fun #losangeleszoo #losangeleszooandbotanicalgardens https://www.instagram.com/p/B7NX_qmHrBt/?igshid=1sf8szu5iknih
