James's Flamingo
James's Flamingo, also known as James's Flamingo or Phoenicoparrus jamesi, is a species of flamingo found primarily in the high-altitude lakes of the Andes in South America. It is characterized by its striking pink plumage, long legs, and a distinctive downward-bending bill, which helps it filter-feed on algae and small invertebrates in the water.
This flamingo is typically found at elevations between 3,200 and 5,000 meters (10,500 to 16,400 feet) in countries like Bolivia, Peru, and Chile. James's Flamingo is considered vulnerable due to habitat loss and climate change, making conservation efforts essential for its survival.
