Flamant rose
The most vibrantly colored flamingo species, American flamingos display brilliant scarlet-pink plumage from the carotenoid pigments in their crustacean diet. Found in Caribbean coastal lagoons, salt pans, and mangrove swamps from the Bahamas and Florida through Central America and the Galapagos. Highly gregarious, they nest in huge colonies on mudflat mounds. Their distinctive deep pink color is used to signal health and reproductive quality to potential mates.
Stemonitopsis gracilis is a slender-stalked myxomycete producing delicate, thread-like sporangia with a graceful columella and fine capillitium, growing on decaying plant material in moist forest habitats. Its fruiting bodies are among the most elegant of all slime mould species. This organism is distributed widely across humid temperate and tropical forests.
