The beak of the flamingo is used for getting their food from the water. their beaks are bent because it allows them to catch smaller species like plankton and small fish. Their beak is dominant because all flamingos have it in order to survive.

# data[].attributes.body
These flamingo's are found in the lagoons, mudflats and lakes of the Caribbean, the Yucatan Peninsula and the Galapagos Islands. they are mainly located in shallow tropical waters so they can get their food. in the map you will see where the flamingos mainly live.

# data[].attributes.body
- Flamingos breath air so they can not hold their breath that long so shallow water would be best to catch food.
- Their webbed feet allow for them be able to walk through the mud and not sink.
- flamingos long legs are very helpful to them because it helps them get away from predators like crocodiles.
- Their long legs also help them stand in deeper waters
- Their curved beak helps them filter out the food they do not want

-Caribbean flamingos are around 42 inches tall
-wingspan of about five feet
-pink feathers and black-tipped wings
-long neck
-long pink legs
-webbed pink feet with three toes
-large hooked bill with a black tip that is curved down

The flamingo is mainly found in the Caribbean, yucatan peninsula, and the Galápagos Islands

The flamingos that are poorly adapted to the environment will either need to find a new location to live or they will die. The flamingos that are well adapted to the environment will survive. If a species have characteristics for a certain environment they will succeed in that certain environment. otherwise they will fail and die in other environments.

# data[].attributes.body
-Short legs make them run slower when their running away from predators
-Short neck will prevent them from reaching food in deeper waters
-Flat beak will not filter their food when they catch it
-No webbed feet will cause them to sink in the mud and not be able to swim
-No wings means they can’t migrate

The lesser flamingos are mainly found in the salty lakes and lagoons of South Africa and India
Description
The lesser flamingo is a tall, large bodied bird with a long neck and small head. Most flamingos, including this species, have pale pink plumage, legs, and bills. The lesser flamingo is one of the smallest and the brightest of the flamingos.

# data[].attributes.body
Located on the Andean plateaus of Peru, Chile, Bolivia and Argentina. They live in salty lakes with soft substrate and relatively sparse vegetation.
Description
They are a pale pink color with some black feathers on their wings and bright crimson streaks around their necks and on their backs. They also have long legs and a long neck just like he other flamingos.

# data[].attributes.body
The difference in color of their feathers depends on what their eating. Alpha and beta carotenoid pigments is what makes them pink, it depends how much they each that determines their color.

The Galapagos Hawk has a body length of approximately 22 inches and a wingspan of around 47 inches and they weigh 23 - 30 oz. They have brown feathers with a grey-barred tail. Their beak is greyish-black and their legs and feet are yellow. The females are larger than males.
Location
They are mainly located around the lakes in the Galapagos

Most animals in the same environment adapt to the same sort of lifestyle. This is because of their resources around them and also the other animals in that environment. Natural selection is based on survival between the prey and predators and the limited resources.

# data[].attributes.body
Natural selection is when organisms need to adapt based on their surroundings. Things that they should look out for would be predators and also how limited their food and water supplies are. Later on the species evolved and become better fit for their environment and survive much better then before.

# data[].attributes.body
Their are multiple factors of natural selection that are very important to the species survival. If the flamingos have many predators in that area they will not survive and have a major decrease in their population. If the enivironment is highly populated with the flamingos the food supply will be very limited. Throughout many generations of the flamingos evolving they had to learn to adapt to their environment like for instance their curved beaks are for helping them get the food they need and to filter out all the stuff they don’t need. If they had flat beaks they would have a hard time trying to get their food so they would have to adapt.
