Flamingos eat algae, shrimp, and crustaceans rich in carotenoids (a type of pigment). These pigments turn their feathers pink or reddish. Without this diet, flamingos would be gray or white! Scientists believe this iconic pose helps flamingos regulate their body temperature by reducing heat loss through their legs. They feed by turning their heads upside down and using their beak to filter tiny organisms from water, much like baleen whales do with krill. #bird #birds #natgeoyourshot #bbcearth #b

Why do flamingos get their pink color? When they're born, flamingos are actually gray or white. Their pink and reddish hues come from carotenoid pigments in the algae and crustaceans they eat. Without this diet, flamingos would remain pale. Zoos even add supplements to ensure captive flamingos keep their vibrant color. The brighter the pink, the healthier and more attractive a flamingo looks to potential mates. Their famous shade is literally diet made visible. | ScienceCore | Facebook
