Description
The Andean flamingo (Phoenicopterus andinus) is one of three flamingo species found in the high Andes and one of the rarest (it is a listed endangered species). It is found on high altitude saline lakes in southern Peru, Bolivia, northern Chile and northern Argentina. These lakes are often affected by mining as they contain several rare minerals, particularly borax. It is the only flamingo that has yellow legs and three toed feet.
