THE FLAMINGOS OF WALVIS BAY 🦩🇳🇦 Flamingos in Namibia are often found in saline desert pans and coastal lagoons, such as the one here in Walvis Bay. Did you know that not all flamingos are pink? Because of a lack of the carotenoid pigment in their diet, it can cause their feathers to be white or gray, not pink. Flamingos hatch with grayish-white feathers and develop their colour over time by consuming brine shrimp and algae, which are rich in beta-carotene. www.deanallen.co.za #author #speaker
