Did you know that flamingos aren’t born pink? (1 Viewer)

[athenaaa]

Their pink colour is based on their diet, varying colours based on how much they eat. Specifically it comes from the beta carotene in shrimp and other foods they eat. The brightest of a flamingo’s pink depends on how much of this carotenoid pigment they consume.​
