Fun Facts

Flamingos can fly as fast as 35 miles an hour.

Falmingo chicks are born gray or white, it takes 3 years for them to reach their mature color.

Flamingos eat lots of shrimp and plankton. The pink or orange color of a flamingo comes from the food they eat.

Flamingo's make a honking sound like a goose. You can hear them here.

Zoo Animals

100 Animals I went to the zoo And what did I see? 100 animals Looking at me. There were, 10 tall giraffes, eating from the trees. 10 silly monkeys, scratching on their knees. 10 sleeping snakes, lying in the sun. 10 munching elephants, eating peanuts one by one. 10 leaping tigers, performing in the shows, 10 pink flamingos, standing on their toes. 10 grouchy bears, trying to get some sleep.
