Flamingos frequently stand on one leg. The reason for this behavior is not fully known. One common theory is that tucking one leg beneath the body may conserve body heat, but this has not been proven. It is often suggested that this is done in part to keep the legs from getting wet, and in addition to conserving energy. In addition to standing in the water, flamingos may stamp their webbed feet in the mud to stir up food from the bottom.

Caribbean Flamingos (Phoenicopterus ruber) can be found in Caribbean and Galapagos islands. They are most eye-catching with their bright orange-y feather and slightly pink-ish around their wings. Their oddly-shaped beaks are used to separate their foods, brine shrimps, from the mud and silt.
