sight is rather astounding. There are more flamingos
here than any other area of the world. The lake is full of algae that is a

world, the flamingo’s feathers are very bright due to the beta carotene found
in the algae in the lake. Along with the very bright flamingos, they recently

extinction, so this may be their last and only hope of continuing on with the
species.
