Flamenco Chileno

Un flamenco de color rosa pálido a gris con distintivas patas de rodillas rosadas, los flamencos chilenos habitan lagos salados de alta altitud en los Andes, lagunas costeras y estuarios desde Ecuador hasta Tierra del Fuego. Entre las especies de flamenco más tolerantes al frío, prosperan a altitudes superiores a los 4.000 metros en las regiones de Atacama y el Altiplano. Sus picos curvados especializados filtran algas e invertebrados de aguas hipersalinas, con poblaciones que se mueven estacionalmente entre sitios de cría y alimentación.
