Historically, zoos have come a long way from entertainment facilities to conservations education centers designed to inspire its audiences.

Flamingos are fascinating and unique birds that demonstrate some of the oddities of evolution. From standing on one leg to gathering in flocks of more than one million, these large animals have been a subject of speculation for many years. Flamingos are large compared to most birds, as they stand 3.3-4.9 feet tall. Their large size would usually prohibit them from flying, but they have adapted to only weigh 4.4-8.8 lbs. They have hollow bones like most birds, and long skinny legs. The…
