Chapter 562 (1/2)

The location of flamingo lake is behind the lion hall. Take a walk along the waterfowl lake, and then walk a little further.

As soon as he came over, Lin Hao opened his eyes, stared at the lake and exclaimed, ”Wow, many flamingos!”

At a glance, dozens or even hundreds of flamingos ”quack” shouted, like a thousand frogs singing in a chorus. The scene was spectacular and lively.

The colors of feathers are different. Some are white and transparent, like freshly ripe peaches, and some are pure white.

Some flamingos are bright red, just like cinnabar, shiny, and look like a burning flame from a distance. Especially when running, it looks like waving red flags, which is very eye-catching.

Not only the feather color, but also the shape is very strange.

Slender figure, long straight neck, slender legs, and the shape of the mouth is like a sickle, bent downward.

Overall, there is a sense of lightness and dignity, and the posture is very beautiful.

Most of them stay in the water. Their slender long legs are submerged in the water, foraging in shallow water, and some walk around with their long legs on the grass on the bank.

A large group of flamingos in the water turned the lake red and looked like a bright rosy cloud.

Lily Qi said, ”Why are some flamingos white?”

In her impression, shouldn't flamingos be red? Otherwise, why is it called this name.

Lin Hao said, ”eh, the principal is explaining over there. Let's go and listen!”

Flamingo lake has just opened. There are still a lot of tourists here!

Fangye conventionally came to have a look and explained it to the tourists.

Several people passed by and heard Fang Ye saying with a smile: ”it is said that there is a strange bird in Loulan ancient country!

When they are plump, they will fly south until the flame mountain, let the sky fire ignite their feathers, and then bring the fire back to Loulan ancient country and turn it into ashes.

Therefore, the people of Loulan call this bird flamingo.

Once the prince of Loulan had a powerful fire power, but he was punished by God and locked up in the Tongtian tower because of tyranny and jealousy. When the prince of Loulan was punished into the tower, flamingo, as the patron saint of the royal family, was also locked up in the Tongtian tower.

Once an alien invades, the Flamingo will burst into flames, showing extraordinary divine power. His whole body will be shrouded in dazzling flames, and his sharp beak will become the sharpest blade to punish the alien. ”

Told a little story, the tourists, especially the children, listened with interest.

Children like listening to this kind of story best.

Fang Ye used the story as an introduction to raise people's interest, and then seriously popularized science: ”apart from myths and legends, flamingos are also a very interesting animal.

Flamingo is not a bird. It also has a name called red stork. These in our zoo are big red storks.

Many people are asking why the Flamingos are not red, but also white. In fact, the color of their feathers is white! ”

”Ah, surprised!”

The visitors' incredible expressions were like the first time they heard that tigers eat grass.

Fang ye said, ”the red of flamingo feathers comes from the astaxanthin ingested at ordinary times. Astaxanthin is red.

In nature, animals cannot synthesize astaxanthin. Flamingos continuously deposit astaxanthin in the body by eating small fish, shrimp, algae and plankton. After a few chemical reactions, the original white feathers will transmit bright red.

For flamingos, astaxanthin is their cosmetics.
