flamingo-rosado

O flamingo-comum (Phoenicopterus roseus), a espécie de flamingo mais difundida, atinge 1,2 metros de altura e habita lagos salinos e alcalinos da Europa, África e sul da Ásia. Sua distintiva coloração rosada deriva dos pigmentos carotenoides presentes nas algas e crustáceos que filtram com seus especializados bicos curvados. Reproduzem-se em densas colônias de dezenas de milhares em lagos hipersalinos tóxicos para a maioria das outras espécies. Classificado como Pouco Preocupante com populações estáveis.
