Greater flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber) preening its feathers. This large water bird inhabits salty lakes in Africa,western Asia and subtropical areas in the Americas. It may reach a height of almost 150 centimetres. It feeds mainly on tiny shrimp-like animals,which it sifts from the water with its large bill. Pigments absorbed from the shrimp account for its pink colour | |
