Francisco
Zoo
. Flamingos are tropical birds, although large colonies have been observed high in the Andes. Its plumage is vermilion with black-edged wings; a common Asian and African flamingo is scarlet with black wing feathers.

When closed, the serrated edges of the bill strain from the muddy water the aquatic plants, shellfish, and frogs on which the bird feeds.

#343 — A scenic picture of two giraffes taken in the Woodland Park
Zoo
in Seattle, Washington. Giraffes are an African ruminant mammal living in open savannas of the Sahara. The giraffe is the tallest of animals and browse in treetops at heights inaccessible to other leaf-eaters. A male can grow up to be 18 ft (5.5 m) from hoof to crown. Giraffes feed chiefly on leaves of acacia and mimosa, using their extensible tongues and mobile lips to secure food. Giraffes can become very vulnerable when spreading their forelegs and lowering their heads to drink; however, they can do without water for long intervals.
