About a thousand pink flamingos have been spotted in Lake Karakol in Kazakhstan.
The birds regularly return to the lake from India, where they feed on many local crustaceans.
Images of the nomadic flights of birds are posted on the Web.
Flamingos are common in Africa, the Caucasus (Azerbaijan), Southeast and Central Asia, and South and Central America. Flamingos can even cope with extreme natural conditions in which only a few other animal species survive. For example, they are found near very salty or alkaline lakes. This is because there is a large population of crustaceans (such as brine shrimp) in high saline bodies of water where fish are uninhabited due to the high salinity. Crustaceans are the main food of flamingos. Flamingos can also be found in high mountain lakes. In addition, they can tolerate very large temperature fluctuations.
The dense skin on their legs allows them to be in an aggressive environment. Pathogenic microorganisms develop due to bird droppings in the surrounding water, and even the slightest scratch on the skin can cause inflammation. From time to time, birds visit fresh water sources near their feeding grounds to quench their thirst and get rid of salt.
