O flamingo-americano é a espécie de flamingo com a plumagem mais vivamente colorida, exibindo um brilhante tom escarlate-rosado proveniente dos pigmentos carotenoides presentes em sua dieta de crustáceos. Ocorre em lagoas costeiras do Caribe, salinas e manguezais, desde as Bahamas e Flórida até a América Central e as Ilhas Galápagos. Altamente gregário, aninha em enormes colônias sobre montes de lama em planícies de maré. Sua marcante coloração rosa intensa é usada para sinalizar saúde e qualidade reprodutiva a potenciais parceiros.
