This article is about scientists in Spain that discovered a miracle about flamingos. Flamingos are also having makeup. The scientists were impressed with this because they (neither did I) thought that animals didn't know what to do to look attractive. Scientists observed flamingos for 3 years and saw that they are becoming more pink and "beautiful" when they groom their feathers. This is because in this way they apply on the feathers a special glands oil called carotenoids. This oil has pink color.
The female flamingos who are the pinkest find the husbands first and first get kids.
I find this article very amusing and intresting.
