Flamingos usually feed while wading in shallow water, using their feet to stir up mud on the bottom.
They will put their head to the water's surface, so that their bill is upside-down, with the tip pointing backward. Then they sweep their head from side to side for feeding.Flamingos usually feed while wading in shallow water, using their feet to stir up mud on the bottom.

Does a giraffe have horns? Those are not actually horns. They are ossicones - cartilage that has transformed into bone and are covered in skin and hair. Giraffes are born with ossicones; however, they lie flat and will fuse with their skull later in life.
Both male and female giraffes have them, but females usually have tufts of hair at the tops and males are bare from having worn theirs away from sparring. ... See moreSee less

Did you know a giraffe's favorite snack is acacia leaves. But acacia trees are famous for their long sharp thorns. Thankfully a giraffe’s sticky saliva will coat the thorns they might swallow to protect their esophagus.
With the help of their prehensile tongue, that measures 18-22 inches long, they can wrap around and strip branches and leaves. Helping to avoid the thorns!Did you know a giraffe's favorite snack is acacia leaves. But acacia trees are famous for their long sharp thorns.
