One fact worth mentioning is that American and Greater Flamingos were once considered conspecific, in other words the subspecies of the same species.
Interesting! Thank you!
Honestly didn't know there where flamingo species at all. Thought there was just the common flamingo 🦩😅
Well now you know
Same I didn't knew there 2 species hippopotamus now when ever i heard about an animal I already assume there going be sub species
@@asharali6388not subspecies. Subspecies are when a species has changed due to location, but two different subspecies could still breed to make the same species. It’s very confusing stuff, but you would be mostly correct by your logic. Ostrich, elephant, rhino, hippo, bison and crocodile all have various species. Interestingly though big cats don’t. There is only 1 lion, leopard etc
@@rishaanshah6747 I knew the difference sub species and species but I thought he made video about sub species of flamingos region wise I must ve been sleeping through video I watched it late night but thanks
@@asharali6388 oops sorry for correcting you then 😅
I live in Gujarat State of India, 2:57 the one on the western most of India. I have seen flamingos so often. There are so many good lakes where they migrate to
Love these series! Is it possible for you to do one on the different species of either:
Parrots
Toucans
Ducks/swans
Wild pigeons
Starlings
For sure! It's great to see this comment get so many likes as I'm excited to make more bird videos after this one :)
Ah amazing! Look forward to it 😅
@@Textbooktravel Can I add Hornbills to this list please?! LOVE your videos!
Sadly pigeons would be too much, as there are over 300.
@@limericklad2000 I LOVE HORNBILLS! ESPECIALLY THE RHINOCEROS HORNBILL
Hey, love your videos❤. I want to suggest you to make a detailed video on parrots, parakeets and macaws.
8:22 Those are there ankles, not knees.
Looking at the range map, I never knew flamingos were sighted in the Bay Area of California, let alone the northern US! I live in San Diego, where you might actually expect to see them, and indeed many are kept by hotels, resorts, theme parks and zoos… but apparently some American flamingos have actually been sighted at the south end of San Diego Bay. Makes sense. The bay is largely shielded from the Pacific Ocean by a thin peninsula and island town, Coronado, which runs parallel to the bay for at least 10- 15 miles (24 km). The bay opens up to the ocean at its northern end… the southern area is an estuary and marsh habitat, where the flamingos were seen.
Flamingos are some of my favorite birds, and i loved this video. If is posible, please make a video of all eagle species. Greetings from Perú
I truly love your channel and i adore all off your videos. I’m an avid documentary watcher and this channel is quality 👌👍 i look forward to more content soon. Thank you.
Congrats on 100k!
Thank you!!
Always a pleasure to learn about my extended family
Who uses centimeters and pounds? What a bizarre combination
Lol, I'm from Nicaragua and those are the metrics we use 🤭
@@yassercastillo2607 Oh wow
Keeping everyone happy
All cool birds
Fun fact the flamingo is Florida’s state bird
Excellent video 😊
Do these different species cross breed with overlapping territories?
I think this is the perfect place to ask this question:
Do flamingoes eat grass or other plant material? A few weeks ago I visited a zoo and observed that a group of (Greater?) flamingos stood on the meadow part of their exhibit having their heads on the ground and opening/closing their breaks as if they were eating.
Additionaly the grass was kept very short (not a length you achieve by using a lawnmower, more like the length of grass being kept down by grazing animals like sheep).
There was no zookeeper around and apart from some pictures I couldn't find any information online as if flamingos eat grass.

Do one for all corvids.

Great!
But these are not the knee joints which are pink!
I only knew about the Carribean, Greater & Lesser Flamingo 🦩lol
They're not Knee Joints, they're Ankle Joins.
I have watched all the "all species of the..." video series and they are absolutely brilliant master collection. Basically an encyclopedia of animals and birds on RUclips. Thank you and keep it coming
Thank you! Glad you enjoy them, lots more on the way :)
@@Textbooktravel Your ungulates video was my favorite!!! You're a real one!
The Greater flamingo is increasing its distribution. After many years being a regular sight at the Bulgarian Black Sea (and elsewhere in Bulgaria) it now has been observed breeding there as well. Incredible really, for such a big bird to increase its population and breeding grounds in Europe.
Hurrayyy
as well as the Netherlands to

So I live in utah, and I keep telling people...... if Utah was more like that of florida, we would totally have flamingos living in Salt Lake
You are very lucky! Utah looks incredible!
@@Textbooktravel it's very beautiful this time of year
Years and years ago a flamingo escaped the zoo, and migrated back to the Great Salt Lake every year after that, so we know it can support flamingoes!
*Literally* Salt Lake
I love flamingos, but the Puna is by far my favorite! I just love the interesting mix of colors and pattern they have^^ Great video!
