      @@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

    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.

  • @primevalrex7266
    @primevalrex7266 3 месяца назад

    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.
