•flamingos have long legs, they can wade into deeper water than other birds. Their webbed feet supports them on soft mud and allows them to swim faster.•There are many possible reason why flamingos stand or rest on one leg. It allows the leg and foot to dry and it also keeps the heat and energy inside their bodies so that they are able to stay warmer in cooler weather. When you're in the bathtub for a long time, your skin starts to wrinkle,and the same thing can happen to the flamingo feet.•
