About

El flamenco menor es la especie de flamenco más pequeña y numerosa del mundo, con hasta 90 cm de altura; forma las mayores bandadas de flamencos del planeta: congregaciones de más de un millón de aves en los lagos del Valle del Rift de África oriental, como Nakuru y Bogoria, constituyen uno de los grandes espectáculos de vida silvestre del mundo. Su intenso color rosa deriva de las algas verde-azules (Spirulina) que filtran de lagos de soda altamente alcalinos y cáusticos, tóxicos para la mayoría de los animales. Casi Amenazado.
