flamingo-chileno

O flamingo-chileno (Phoenicopterus chilensis) é uma das seis espécies de flamingos, habitante dos Andes e planícies da América do Sul temperada. Distingue-se do flamingo-maior pela coloração rosada mais pálida, joelhos avermelhados e bico cinza com ponta negra. Habita lagos salinos e alcalinos de alta altitude. Forma colônias numerosas para nidificar. Alimenta-se filtrando algas e microcrustáceos. É classificado como espécie quase ameaçada devido à perturbação dos sítios de nidificação.
