The Great Flamingo Migration

Bright pink flamingoes can be found in the wild, but only in very specific coastal regions in the world. Flamingoes don't enjoy cold climates, which means their migratory patterns bring them to the sunny shores of the Southern Hemisphere.

The pink on this map shows that flamingoes enjoy hanging out in South America, Africa, and parts of Asia. Next time you see a flamingo perched on one leg, think about how far they have flown to get there.
