Where Do Wild Flamingos Congregate?
While the majority of people will only ever see flamingos in zoos, they do exist in the wild in several parts of the world. These wading birds prefer Africa, Europe, small sections of Asia, the Caribbean, and the southern tip of America, as seen in the map above.
Flamingos have an interesting habit of standing on one leg, but no one understands why. Because their long, slender legs spend the majority of the day wading around in frigid water, it’s considered that they stand in this manner to preserve body heat.
