- Phoenicopteridae
2. Where is it found (world location)? 
- Adean flamingos are found in Southern Peru, North-Central Chile, Western Bolivia, and North Western Argentina. Caribbean flamingos are found throughout Caribbean (Cuba, the Bahamas, the Yucatan, Turks, and Caicos), the Galapagos Islands, and the northern part of Coastal South America.
3. What adaptations does it have for survivial?
- They have long legs for wading in deep water and stand on one leg to keep it warm. Also, they can swim faster because of their longs legs and can get away from predators.
4. What does it eat?
-Flamingos eat algae, crustaceans, brine shrimp, diatoms, and aquatic plants.
5. What eats it?
- Lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, pythons, Andean foxes, and Geoffrey´s cat are the flamingos' predators. ]]> 2018-05-10 16:15:19 UTC https://padlet.com/1027327/hbtiygrff9ja/wish/259684150 1027328 https://padlet.com/1027327/hbtiygrff9ja/wish/259686720 1. Describe and define what the behavior is.
- Flamingos are social birds meaning they stick together in colonies or flocks. Flock sizes range from a few birds to a few hundred to tens of thousands of birds. The average flock size contains roughly 100 birds. As well, small flocks have a higher chance of being attacked.]]> 2018-05-10 16:20:54 UTC https://padlet.com/1027327/hbtiygrff9ja/wish/259686720 1027327 https://padlet.com/1027327/hbtiygrff9ja/wish/259691856 1. What is the individual behavior in this group activity? (What are the individual organisms doing?)
- Spend most of the day feeding, preening (distributing oil from a gland at base of tail to feathers for waterproofing), resting, and bathing. Non-breeding flamingos feed at night and spend the day sleeping or involved in activities listed in the first sentence.]]> 2018-05-10 16:31:38 UTC https://padlet.com/1027327/hbtiygrff9ja/wish/259691856 1027327 https://padlet.com/1027327/hbtiygrff9ja/wish/259692137 1- 2. What is the group behavior? What do they do collectively (together)? 
- Flamingos are very social birds. Breeding colonies of a few individual flamingos are rare while colonies of tens of thousands of birds are common.]]> 2018-05-10 16:32:10 UTC https://padlet.com/1027327/hbtiygrff9ja/wish/259692137 1027327 https://padlet.com/1027327/hbtiygrff9ja/wish/259692240 1.What is the group's outcome?
- Flamingos find safety in numbers and the bigger the group, the less chance they have to get attacked by predators. When an individual flamingo's head is in the mud the rest of the group protect that flamingo in case an animal tries to attack them.
2. What do they achieve by doing this group behavior?
-What they achieve by this group behavior is they are able to protect each other and stay safe, meaning they have a bigger chance of being able to survive and reproduce.
3. How does this behavior lead to increased chances of survival and reproduction?
-This behavior that the flamingo's groups have helps them protect each other and are able to have each other's back. This behavior increases their chance of reproduction because when two flamingos are breeding, the rest of the group surrounds them for protection.]]> 2018-05-10 16:32:24 UTC https://padlet.com/1027327/hbtiygrff9ja/wish/259692240
