Flamingos fossils first appeared in the Cretaceous
Period and are currently distributed in warm regions except Australia. These are
colorful web-footed birds with long legs, long necks, bent bills with lamellae,
and much pink or red in the plumage that reach lengths between 91 - 122 cm. They
Share characters with both Ciconiiformes and Anseriformes but evidently
closer to the former, with which they are sometimes grouped.
