RE: Animal Photography Challenge - Flamingos at the Zoo

in #animalphotography7 years ago (edited)

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.

Sort:  

Oh neat! I never would have guessed that was the case about their legs! So weird to think that their "knees" are ankles!
