1. Articles describing flamingos
Lake Nakuru and several nearby small lakes are located at the bottom of the East African Rift Valley and were formed by violent changes in the earth's crust.
There is a lot of water flowing around it, but there is no water outlet. Over the years, water flow has brought a large amount of lava soil, causing salt-alkali sedimentation in the lake water.
This saline-alkali quality and strong sunlight on the equator provide good conditions for algae to breed. A type of dark green algae that grows in the shallow waters of several lakes is the main source of food for flamingos.
Algae contains a lot of protein. A flamingo consumes about 250 grams of algae every day. Algae also contain a kind of chlorophyll, and it is said that the pink color of flamingos is the result of this pigment.
Lake Nakuru and its surrounding areas have become a place where flamingos gather and are known as the "Flamingo Paradise". There are two types of flamingos here: the larger ones are 1 meter tall and 1.4 meters long and are less numerous; the smaller ones are 0.7 meters tall and 1 meter long and are more numerous.
They have long legs, long necks, and huge beaks, much like white cranes, but their feathers are light pink, and their wings and feet are slightly darker. The flamingo's beak is extremely unique: its long beak is flat at the top and curved at the bottom, with a hook-shaped tip.
There are often tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of flamingos in a group. They are either swimming in the lake or wandering on the shallows, looking leisurely and peaceful. When the mood strikes, they spread their wings and dance gracefully.
At this time, Lake Nakuru is filled with light and shadows of birds, reflecting each other and turning red. And once their excitement is exhausted, they flap their wings and fly high into the sky, like large red clouds.
This strange change is known as "the best scene in the world's bird kingdom." In order to enjoy this spectacle, a large number of tourists from all over the world come to Lake Nakuru every year. 2. What are the idioms that describe "a journey through mountains and a journey through water"
