flamant du chili

A pale pink to grey flamingo with distinctive pink-kneed legs, Chilean flamingos inhabit high-altitude Andean salt lakes, coastal lagoons, and estuaries from Ecuador to Tierra del Fuego. Among the most cold-tolerant flamingo species, they thrive at altitudes above 4,000 meters in the Atacama and Altiplano regions. Their specialized bent bills filter algae and invertebrates from hypersaline waters, with populations moving seasonally between breeding and feeding sites.

loup

The most widely distributed wild canid, gray wolves range from North America across Eurasia in diverse habitats including tundra, forests, and grasslands. Highly social animals living in family packs led by a dominant breeding pair. As keystone predators, wolves regulate prey populations and profoundly shape ecosystem structure, as demonstrated by their reintroduction in Yellowstone. Once heavily persecuted, populations are recovering in many regions.
