Hey guys, it's Adventure Van here with a blog about Flamingos! Now, you might wonder, what is there to write about flamingos? Well, their interesting bone structure, for one. You might of seen how they stand. It's weird, as they stand on one leg all the time. But the reason for this? They're made for it, and it's harder for them to stand on two legs at a time. The flamingo's leg locks into position, and can even let them stand up, on one leg, even when they're dead. It was discovered that their muscles and skeleton are positioned to let gravity work on keeping them upright. However, we have yet to figure out why it is advantageous to do so, but a leading theory is that they do so to preserver heat by keeping their other leg out of the water they're in most of the time.
That's Adventure Van, pinking out.
