Flamingo Facts Flamingos are found in the warm, tropical, watery regions on many continents. Flamingos live in lagoons, or lakes, where there is lots of mud and water. With their long legs and webbed feet, flamingos will stomp on the muddy bottom of lakes to mix the food particles with the water. Flamingos lower their heads into the water, upside-down, and use their large beaks to filter, or separate, small food items from the water.

Did You Know?♦ Flamingos live in groups called colonies to help protect themselves from predators.

♦ Young flamingos are born gray and white and do not turn pink for two years.

♦ Flamingos have little or no sense of smell.

♦ Flamingos often stand on one leg to conserve body heat.
