• All flamingos are found in tropical and subtropical areas.
• A variety of habitats are used by flamingos: mangrove swamps, tidal flats, and sandy islands in the intertidal zone.
• Flamingos usually do not migrate. But if the climate or water levels in their breeding areas change, flamingo colonies are not always permanent.
• When flamingos migrate, they do so mainly at night. They can travel approximately 373 miles in one night at about 31-37 mph. |
